Dominic is a stand up guy!
 

Today I purchased a mirage drive from Dominic in Santee. This guy has them posted on Craigs list. Dominic was a cool guy, the price was very good, the quality of the drive was "like new" and he even met me part of the way. He has one more drive (no he did not get them from LJ bottom, saw his other kayaks) he has them from a busted boat.

Thanks Dominic.

I told him I would put in a good word since he took care of me.

Matt, Did you get the revo from Mike? Hope it worked out for you.

Steve

How often do you typically need to replace a mirage drive system? Do people break them while landing in the surf? I am fairly new to kayaking and I would like to avoid these things if I can.

Got the Revo
 

Hey Steve, yes I did get the Revo from him, after a 2 hour each way drive to Oxnard. He told me about what happened (his version) with your meeting. That sucks, I would have been pissed. Anyways, the boat is in very good shape and has an OK seat, no paddle for $650. Drive cost me 240. Matt

Good for you Matt. I'm happy it worked out for you. I tested out the Revo and the Pro Angler and really loved the Pro Angler. I still would like to get a second paddle kayak. I just have to wait for the wife to chill about the latest upgrade. Maybe I will see you out on the water in your boat soon.
