Hobie Outback

rcmay · 03-07-2010, 12:13 AM

Where is the best, or only, place around here that is a Hobie dealer? Is Fairhope boat Co, the only dealer around? Is it possible to find one of these on sale or used?

Key Sailing out on P'cola Beach is a local hobie dealer. They are on the left about 1/2 mile after you go through the toll booth, under Surf Burger. 850-932-5520

I believe that Specslayer still has his for sale http://www.fishinginflorida.info/fis...3428-44-1.aspx

Have you fished the other Hobies? I vote Revo.

I seriously considered the revo and sellking my outback for awhile. I took one out a few times and finanlly decided the the extra width was worth more than speed. But if hobie would take the outback 33" width and make the yak the revos length id pay top dollar no question

I did actually own a revolution and sold it when I was buying my house. Im not looking to do real long peddles(paddles) so I dont mind giving up a little speed if I can have a little more stablilty in return.I will say, that after owning a Hobie Mirage, I dont think I could own another kayak brand. They really are the best, that I have tried, at least.

Do not own one, and for that reason. Revo, nice length, but no width. Outback, nice layout, but no length. Sort of the Malibu Stealth layout, but with hobie peddles. Would be the Kila machine for fishing anywhere. Hobie should read this.

have any of you guys ever fished out of a Heritage Ultimate with the pedal system? I know where I can get a mildly used 14.5 Ultimate for $899 but I dont know much about them or anyone that has ever used one.

My dad has a heritage for bass fishing lakes and rivers in NC. great for his application, real nice seat too. But the prop doesn't fold like hobie flippers so not as nice for skinny water. Go hobie if you can afford it. Of course you ain't catching nothing if you ain't in the water.
