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. |

Seems to me that blow up boats would be pushed around by the wind more than heavier solid boats. I've been thinking of getting something that I could take to local beaches to float along within a few hundred feet of beaches and maybe occasionally on a medium sized lake. Of course they would be great on a smooth as glass mill pond like in the video. Let us know how those things work in the ocean. Gotta admit, I like the high comfortable seating although it can't be as stable as a low sitting position. |

I jumped in...cold doesn't begin to describe it. On the other hand, I used to go swimming at Revere Beach when I was a kid, and that water didn't feel that cold. I'm sure it was, though. |

I want something I can easily manhandle up onto my utility trailer and then remove onto a stand when the trailer does it's real work. I lived with a 12' jon boat and a 7.5 merc here for the first few months while I was finding my way around and it would fit inside my van. I could move that around pretty easily by myself. I even got a couple miles offshore to the reef in the keys with it and all around the gulf side (accompanied by other boats). They also used it for a platform for a hookah towed behind a bigger boat. I still use it for maintenance on my pontoon when I am on the lift. |

I have something very close to what you describe. It's for sale but unfortunately it's in Florida. If he can wait until spring there should be plenty of Canadians who could take it up there. |
