AlsHobieOutback,

I did a little trolling and see that you're in the SC area. I'm heading down to a conference at Asilomar on Nov 1-3 and would be able to deliver the TI, if you are interested.

Let me know what you think,

2016 Tandem Island . . . lightly used . . . Hobie Accessories include: Trampolines, Scupper Trolly with Wheelez, Roof Rack TI Cradle, Turbo Fins, (2) Paddles . . . Other stuff: anchor trolley & gear bag for Mirage Drives . . . willing to deliver, if not too far . . . I'm in Sonoma County . . . make me an offer, the price is flexible.

Oops . . . can’t blame autocorrect for that one . . . the relief zipper does help with “emerging” . . . 😜

I’ve been wearing a Kokatat Hydrus semi-dry suit and have taken plunges in the Pacific Ocean (voluntary), just to test it out. With a PFD on, the neoprene neck seal didn’t allow much water into the suit . . . I made sure to fully emerge myself  . . . as best I could with a PFD and the air trapped inside the suit. It may be that the air escaping from the suit may have kept water from seeping into the neck seal.

I’ve been a diver for 50 years and LOVE my dry-suit . . . the relief zipper is a real blessing . . . just make sure it is completely sealed before you play in the water. Two legs filled with water are REALLY HEAVY . . . found out the hard way. 👍😎

Great fishing kayak! Fitted with Hobie Stow & Go rudder with foot pedal controls, Hummingbird transducer & mount. Comes with seat and paddle. In good condition. Selling because I bought a Hobie.

If you’re interested, please shoot me an email.

I’ve had a TI for 2 years and bought it so my wife and I could enjoy being on the water together. I load & unload the boat myself. I use a Rhino Rack and have loaded it on top of my Sequoia and Tacoma. It isn’t light, but with practice, you can “almost” make it look easy. Frankly, the most difficult thing is lifting the bow up from shoulder height to overhead to clear the Rhino Rack. After that, it’s easy peasy.
I’m 61, 5’-7”, and not in super physical shape, but I can load it solo.
Good luck!!!

Gonna drop pots in Tomales or Doran for an overnight soak. Hopefully they’ll be there in the morning. Heard Doran at 40-50’ is productive. Will let you know tomorrow.

I'm going to put it on the calendar and will try to convince my bro (FishShim) to come too.
