Hobie is the way to go if you can afford it... I have had mine for 2 weeks and it is a night and day difference...go see Andy at OEX and go for a test drive.. You will not be disappointed

Yea what he said.

That's what my boy is telling me that once I get the hobie I will be hooked and my wife tells me I have to many yaks I need to consaledate first. Now it's wether I go new or get a demo to save a couple hundred I can do both. What do u guys think?

Motorize your stealth, there's nothing better IMO...ask my Hobie friends who I'm always having to wait around for.

Wait up for me haha.. Your trolling motor will die one day and I will pedal right past you..

Until you break a drive cable

Ill stick to paddling thank you

If you think paddling is too hard its probably because your paddling a slow boat. If you notice, most of those who say they would rather paddle are on efficient boats like Tarpons, Prowlers, Etc.

I want to thank all of you and your recommendations was wanting to know if any one was willing to share photos of your riged hobie's
Thanks

Slip fees aren't too bad, it's the ammo that hits the wallet...

It's a Lowrance Elite 5, GPS and FF. Works very well. Been thinking of getting a side scanning one though. Not sure if those work on a kayak, but it would be cool.

It's a combo of a flexible arm and a motorcycle handle bar mount. Both from the Ram web site. The arm is made of a solid aluminum rod that can bend, but not easliy, so it stays where you put it.
