kayak?
Well, I sold the boat and, honestly, I am pretty stoked about it. I'll miss her but she went to someone who is going to fish her well and use her as
much as possible - that's what boats are for.
Now I'm looking to get back on the water. I'm searching for a Hobie Mirage Outback and thought I should post here before I go all the way to the
states. I'm sure someone has one in the garage that they don't use anymore - ready to pass her on?
Gracias!

A $1,900 kayak used by serious fishermen not being used. I was an optimist once. Just got a used Ocean Scrambler for $220 -- refitted with a
Ocean Kayak Comfort Pro Deluxe Kayak Seat, paddle holder, 2 recessed rod holders, bungee front/back, about 60 pounds rigged.
At 88 pounds rigged, the Mirage is heavy.... still, it has the Mirage Drive and outstanding stability. Good choice.

Well crap, I guess I didn't word it just right - I am happy to BUY it. Not looking for freebies. Just looking to spare myself the trip up to BUY one.
Didn't mean for anyone to get all tightened up.
I have a paddle yak with a rod holder. Just my opinion, the mirage drive is the way to go. Anyone have one they would like to SELL please let me know.

Never thought a Mirage would be a freebie. The first post sounded like it would be a purchase. No confusion on your part Merlin!
Anyone else think that?
Don't think I could get a Mirage on my car without help. Getting my Scrambler on my roof alone is about all I can handle.
What is archie bell and the drells? Hope I'm not dating myself.

Hey, Merlin,
I have a 2009 Hobie Adventure Island for sale. I used it about 15 times.
Have not used it for about two years.
I'll be posting it on Craig's list for $2500. New was about $3700 plus tax.

Yes, thanks for all the help.
captkw - I am in San Juanico.
Udo - thanks for the offer, I really like the sailing yak idea but I'm looking to keep it simple. Most of my fishing will be in the esteros and they
are pretty small.
Gracias!
