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.

Interesting!
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.

You are thinking of getting another bay-liner?

You could probably get Harry to drive it up to you and save the tax up there.

I think it's a ploy to make our goods and services appear cheaper to y'all....to improve our trade balance with the US.

He would probably want a bonehead delivery fee.

Are you going to buy that rifle from him that he is practically
giving away? Is it the one he assembled himself with parts and
pieces from different vendors?
