Dear Hobie Corporation, Please consider producing a foam-filled Hobie kayak with an outboard motor mount.
Do a knock-off or a better version as I know you can. I would buy a solo skiff today, but that seems impossible due to poor management This has become ridiculous |

If Hobie makes one, it will be in the $5k range.
Mike from Solo Skiff said they fixed the problem and is starting up production again in a couple of weeks. I hope it's true for all the people who are waiting. Price is now $2350 plus tax and shipping. Kinda sucks that people who puts deposit down before the price increase will have to pay the higher price. That's ain't right. Quote:

The U.S. dealers website for Stealth Kayaks does not work. Not a good sign.

https://stealthkayaks.com/compare-kayaks/ They don't have much distribution in the US, so it's not a fast purchase, but I have checked them out at the Florida distributor's and so far everything that I have seen are of good quality. |

Solo Skiff Armada is growing
Bag of mixed rockfish, buddy landed that toad of a Calico, 23”. Planning a few 9mile bank trips with the Scout Community, will be cool to see a dozen Solos and a dozen Scouts smashing off shore.
Went out last Saturday too, SD Bay for some Butts, but was immediately bummed when the bait barge only had dinky chovies, 3” max. Managed to catch a few spotties, shaker and a Buzz. . Buddy Nelson maiden voyage on his Scout was cool to be apart of. : https://youtu.be/B0zzS-EVgSE |

Awesome to see a group Solo cutting through the water.
Where will you be launching to head out to the 9 miles? I might be down if it is not beach launch, if you don't mind me joining you guys. -Quang |
