Decided my Hobie Outback was not going o ever be loaded on the camper rack,
so today went out and bought two Hobie I11S inflatables kayaks. Test drove
the demo and wife and I both liked it. One cool thing is the new Mirage
drives have a reverse. Old Outback is about 75# and the inflatable is 35
for the kayak and 65 fully assembled. Can check the kayak in it's bag in
an airplane. Without the pedals, and seat, is under the 50# limit saving
overcharges.

BTW..how much do they cost down there...I expect they'll be 50% more expensive here.



I had a Hobie rigid hull (plastic) version of this. It had the pedals
and "flippers". It was amazing how fast you can get them going if you
can pedal hard, fast and long enough. I used to race the launch service
boats in the harbor with mine and could often keep up with them.

Those things can keep up with "hull speed" on my pontoon and when I do
slow down to give them a break they act like I want to race. After a
minute of trying to get by them without rocking them, "Surf's up" and
I nail it.

I find the reverse chine hull on my Bayliner kicks up a bigger wake when I try to go by slowly at 8 to 10 mph. Even my Legend did the same....

No wake speed on you boat is about 5 mph.

The wake from the Legend was likely due to parts falling off, eh?

If y'all and your ilk are the results of what I sow....I'd best leave the farming to others.

You got manure under your fingernails. It ain't going away till
you fire Krause as your front man.

That's a pretty good idea, Don. Either let someone else do your farming or change the seed you sow.
