2013 Hobie Adventure Island AS NEW - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

makobob · 07-19-2014, 01:44 PM

2013 ADVENTURE ISLAND, in water 4 afternoons. Sails never used only pedaled around Mission Bay. Color is yellow. NEW trailex aluminum trailer with spare tire, never been in the water. Trailer has HOBIE cradle for AI. NO Bait system or electronics, no holes drilled in hulls. Comes with Hobie paddle, seat, and of course the mirage drive with turbo fins and the sailing rudder.

Almost $6000 invested in rig, with this rig you could be chasing tuna NEXT weekend. Just install your electronics and bait syatem and sail off towards the sunset.

$5000 is too much so offer less!!! $3600 is NOT enough, so offer more. Thanks guy's.

Jeff, it is a great boat, just too heavy for me.

Kevin, I am keeping my Outback for now but looking at the NEW Thresher. My legs are starting to give out so I will transition out of the Outback into something I can paddle easier. Once I get into a new boat, I will put the Outback on the market. Thanks for asking. See you Tuesday.

Raskal311 · 07-19-2014, 08:05 PM

Ahh I was considering switching the the PA out for an outback.. LMK when you are ready

need something with a bit less weight.

Ok Kevin, YOU have first right of refusual on the Outback, should be available mid August. The OUTBACK was MY downsize from the PA14, and it is a great boat. Saved 50 pounds in weight and lost just a little space. Lighter, easier to store and transport, good stability, worked well for me. Besides the peddling getting rougher on my legs and feet with the Hobie I want something that is better in the surf. Planning for more trips to Baja next year and do NOT want to be excluded from pacific beaches. For instance I saw some awesome areas around San Quintin, Soccoro and 3-4 others where beach launches would put you into kelp forest within 1/2 mile. Many places to explore with BAJA or BUST in the next couple of years. So now beach launching will be a priority for me.

For me, being 66 the Kraken is too heavy, beyond my capabilities to move, the Thresher 14 I can handle, and from the hull shape it should handle beach launching and landing well. Both appear to have good stability. AND I really need to be able to store rods below decks for beach work. Baja on a week plus long trip is no place to hold a garage sale. Both ARE nice well thought out fish machines with good crusing speeds and ample storage. You should be good, both should set new standards for our sport.

Thank you ill prob have to try them out to make my final decision since they both seem really good to me .

Kevin you could buy a new one or SAVE 40% and get this one.

GregAndrew · 07-23-2014, 07:38 AM

Bob, if I had a place to store it, that is the one Hobie I would consider right now. That could make for an epic year for someone.

Do it do do it. I remember seeing romspacenut's trailer and kayak broken down and it was pretty compact.

kayachapi · 07-23-2014, 09:04 AM

This will be my next boat. Wish I was ready. Great deal!

I'm sure you could make room just Imagine your GO Pro footage from your set up while your sailing off the rigs chasing tuna!

romspacenut · 07-23-2014, 10:09 AM
