Hobie Pro Angler tandem... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I would trade my 2 PA14's for one of those. I have two kayaks because I wanted to take the grandkids or friends out who aren't real familiar with kayaking.

I already have a trailer.

Might not be a good choice for LJ though.

Dave you are right, but it would be GREAT for Gonzaga or most other Sea of Cortez locations.

jorluivil · 07-15-2014, 02:32 PM

Are they going to allow those on the Islander?

FISH11 · 07-15-2014, 02:39 PM

That's almost big enough to serve as a mother ship for THE ISLANDER!

YOU know that will be fun for both of you. How soon before there is one to check out?

Iceman · 07-15-2014, 03:35 PM

September 1, right now dealers can only do presales.

When will OEX have a model to demo? I been thinking tandem island but this may work out better.

Iceman · 07-15-2014, 04:06 PM

September 1 is what I have been told. My plan is to rig one up with electronics, livewell and trailer and rent for $100 a day and apply that $100 to future purchase

Raskal311 · 07-15-2014, 07:48 PM

after rigging, bait tank, sand wheels, trailer ect what are we looking at? $7k plus? I think i'd like at a 16ish foot Boston wheeler at that point.

My question is; at what point does a Hobie become a kayak. Certainly does not fit and definition of kayak that I have ever seen.

the PA was never classified as a Kayak. ok, it might have been at first but was quickly subject to debate and soon after you couldn't find "Kayak" written anywhere near a PA, except on the forums.

too many people are trying to wrap their heads around the idea of this "huge kayak" instead of just taking it for what it is, a supped up pedal boat ready to take you and your partner practically anywhere inshore and possibly offshore.

Take out the front seat, rig it for sleeping, build a custom zippered tent top.

Put the clicker on, take a nap.

Hey Chris don't forget a 20HP outboard.
