Hobie V/S Native Mariners. Any thoughts? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have a Native 12.5 Mariner. I picked it up at OEX Mission Bay. I really like this kayak. I can go forward or backwards in it. I have taken it out the Kelp Beds pass O.B Pier and was very stable. It is a little bit light than the Hobie Angler. I have not tried the Hobie so it is hard for me to compare.

i was listing it for 1100 cash , i believe . yes , i still have it . they are going for about 1300 cash . 1100 is a decent deal . my knuckle head friend bought some crap on internet that is made for still water . wait till he try's to take it through surf . i was thinking of keeping it . every time i sell something i regret it . he should have bought your kayak . let me know if you can't sell your's . i really don't know what it is worth , but i do know hobies have a good resale value . anthony .
