SOLO SKIFF PROGRESS THREAD

[FISH11]

Keep the updates coming. I talked to Brent this morning and put in my deposit, so I'm on that waiting list for the Solo Skiff shipment.

[NICKWORN]

Lowrance has a rebate on their TI and new Hook Reveal. I went with the Reveal 7" for basically $279 after rebate CC. That's shipped to my door. If you register to their website u get an additional 5% off, hints the $379 after tax, free shipping.

I dont need side scan nor the lake maps, this can e with GPS, chirp and reveal down scan.

Placing order for motor tomorrow.

I like this thread, Look forward to continued updates as you progress. I would recommend getting the largest-sized beach wheels for hauling it. Any place to get H-rail other than ordering for premium prices via Hobie?

Hi Nick, GTK, Apologies if any of my comments have been inappropriate. I did not realize Malones 12" wheels had a 250lb capacity.

Life in Florida is a lot less expensive than California, but having spent the first 40yrs of my life in SoCal, there are still some things I miss. Fishing wise, this is the best time of year. Recently set a Personal Best limit of King Mackerel 42 and 29lbs respectively I am loving this thread, I look forward to seeing the final results, of the skiff, and the future catches you make with it!

For those that have a Solo Skiff:

It looks like it is through hull installation for the transducer.

Is that true?

How is fish finder performance when under power?

Anyone have side scan working on one of these?

[mrJB]

I've run my transducer through the forward cooler/bait tank scupper using a rubber stopper to enable the cooler to be used as dry storage. Bait tank is old school with the pump located off the rear grab bar...

I sold my pa long time ago thinking about the solo skif
Is the Suzuki worth 150 dollars extra? I think it's few # less
Cooler for the fish and for drinks?
Installing a kill bag on top the front will restrict the use of the bait tank? I have seen one with custom aluminum rack over the outboard area with bunch of rod holders mandatory 360 light

For those of you buying one of these and planning to use a trailer and not surf launch, why not a livingston or small aluminium skiff?

Way to go Chris. I love mine, everytime I use it at La Jolla (once or twice per week) I am more impressed at the stability and ability in the open ocean.
