Hobie Mirage: is this a good deal?

ElJay · 09-22-2008, 04:50 PM

A local memphis dealer is closing up and selling the two man HOBIE MIRAGE OASIS for $980 new stock on the floor. Is it a good deal? We tried a similar one out in Ft Walton and liked it, it would be great for the Ghost river and other areas. Just looks a bit on the high side price wise.

I haven't priced Hobie's in awhile, but I can tell you that I paid CONSIDERABLY more than that for my two-seater Outfitter Mirage two years ago. And that was boat show special pricing. I don't know if Hobie prices have come down or gone up in the last year or so, but if the Oasis is being sold with two seats, two Mirage Drives, and two paddles, I would say go for it, AND HURRY!

You would probably get some more opinions and feedback from some of the forum's more experienced 'yakkers if you posted this within the Kayak section.

I am thinking the dual seat/drive Hobie runs around 2500.+ shipping.... Soooo... THAT is a GREAT deal... If I had the money... I'd be all over that. :reallycrying
