Hobie Outback - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JohnMckroidJr · 06-08-2021, 04:45 AM

As a result of Covid, kayak sales have been pretty good. With an older model, the longer it sits the more outdated it becomes and the less it should be worth.
That said, the newer kayaks cost more, and the higher new kayak prices have pulled up the value of old used ones. If you ever decide to get back into the sport, you are going to want to enjoy the newest technology. Put it up for sale. Look on Facebook Market Place, Craigslist, Offerup and the Classifieds on here to help decide on a used price. Good luck with your decision.

Thanks, JohnMckroidJr. Sound advice.

Wow, people are asking for higher prices for yaks even older than mine. You weren't kidding. These prices are very close to what I originally paid for mine. Of course, my situation will include almost everything you need to fish, minus a bait tank which I sold separately since I never needed it.

This is what I plan on selling:

2015 Hobie Outback with stock mirage drive, paddle, seat (the nice one with lumbar support), and flag

Though I'd like to sell it all as one package, I MAY consider piecing these out because I know a lot of guys have plenty of gear, already:

Raymarine Dragonfly 4 fish finder, properly mounted on yak
Life Vest with CO2 cartridge
Standard Hobie plug in wheels
Hobie Trax 2 plug in wheels
Hobie dry bag
2 Rod holder extensions
Standard Horizon floating handheld radio

is $1900 for EVERYTHING reasonable?

I would honestly list it for more I would personally have paid 2300-2500 when I was in the market

Second this... Proper documentation like pictures of everything for offer, clean, in good working condition will fetch you top dollar... List high sell low

working recent model fish finder already mounted is the game changer for most.. Such an inconvenience to have it mounted if you do not know how to wire yourself, let alone feel uncomfortable drilling holes in a sound stable boat

X3.... But 2 sets of wheels, Marine radio and Raymarine FF, really. I would start asking $2400. Just look at whats available, NOTHING. If they don't like it they can pass.

Wow you guys, thanks for the input. I didn't think of it that way. This is essentially a yak fishers starter kit. The only things missing are your fishing rods and bait, I suppose. Sounds good. I may go out one last time this weekend or next just to make sure I won't be super sad letting this go.
