For Sale / Re: Kevlar Perception Corona
« on: January 23, 2021, 11:38:47 AM »
Sure! Its worth a try. Your friend could even bring his 8 year old and have him sit on it to see how it fits him. Maybe I could even install the back band for him.  Let me know. I'm in Morgan Hill.....

For Sale / Kevlar Perception Corona
« on: January 18, 2021, 03:27:35 PM »
I have a closed deck kevlar Perception Corona for sale. It has a rod holder, tho fishing out of a closed deck can be a little hairy. This boat is 14' long and weighs 38 pounds. It has some cracks in the gel coat which have been repaired tho not cosmetically appealing. Still a very seaworthy boat. It was 3K brand new more than 20 years ago, asking 500 dollars OBO. The deck rigging needs to be replaced and the rudder cable needs to be oiled or replaced. I am throwing in 2 spray skirts (one partial for hot days on a lake and one full coverage), cockpit cover, paddle float, and a device that will right side you up in an emergency called a Back Up.
I also have an 8' sit on top Islander Lipstik sit on top surfing kayak. Its in excellent condition and has been in the water one time. I am throwing in a brand new back band that you will have to install on it. You will need to purchase leg braces. 150 bucks.
Need room for my new HOBIE!

Craftsmen's Corner / Re: Transducer install
« on: October 20, 2020, 07:39:16 PM »
I started making mounts for the Garmin Transducers to fit Hobie Lowrance Ready plates. I know its annoying to have to DIY a solutions that just rusts apart, so after making my own and seeing how well it worked I figured i'd start seeing if there was interest in them by others! only $20 shipped or $15 picked up in Redwood City.

They fit all models of the Garmin brand transducers (just let me know which you have so i can get the right one to you) (pictured is just the GT20 model).

Hey do you make one for a Hummingbird Helix 5? They have adapters but everyone is out of them. Will probably be inventing something here before too long. Just bought a REVO 13...

I glued my Hummingbird transducer down to the bottom of the hull inside my Cobra Marauder and it worked fine. I put it inside a 4" PVC coupling to protect it from other stuff inside the boat.

OMG I have been thinking about you a lot! Hope you are well. Definitely give me a call! Just got new kayak last weekend! I got a HOBIE REVO 13.

General Talk / Hatch Question for Hobie Revo 13
« on: October 13, 2020, 07:42:12 PM »
Ok so I got my brand new 2020 Hobie Revo 13 and I am stoked and in the process of getting it all tricked out.  :smt007  Just ordered a bunch of YAKATTACK GT90 trac, a fishfinder mount and a rod holder.  Now I am coming from kayaking on a Cobra Marauder, which if anybody out there owns one you know how much deck and hatch space there is one of these things, its practically a barge. (I need to try and repair a 3" split in the bottom of that thing so if anyone has any input on that I will take it!) So this is something that will take some getting used to but I was wondering if anyone has installed a rectangle hatch behind the seat? I see they have what looks like what would be a cut out for an 8" hatch but I wanted to put a larger one back there and was looking at the rectangle one that Hobie has.

Cool! Thanks for the info Danny. I am surprised they havent blocked it off completely to us lowly fisherpeople. Last time I was there we had a marine biologist yelling at us telling us we should buy our fish at Safeway (wheres the fun it that?) and my poor friend Dave got totally berated by an irritated elderly person upset about the parking. I should be getting my yak towards the end of September. I think rockfish is until the end of November right?

Stillwater can have an unfriendly vibe. The folks that run the golf course and resort don't like us too much. Civilians will come around and disapprove of sport fishing harvest. The security guards will come around and make sure you keep moving when loading and unloading, but they're just doing their job; best to smile and be cool with them. My suggestion: don't get run off. We have a legal right to coastal access there, and we are fishing legally and responsibly (I assume). You can do your part by parking where you are out of the way, avoiding leaving a mess if you clean fish before going home, and just going about your business if someone objects. I've been tempted to tell someone to fuck off there, and I know that confrontations may lead to restrictions- so I held my tongue. But by all means, fish that incredible spot, and protect your right to do so.

Sorry for the lecture


No need to apologize. I appreciate the info. Sounds like things havent changed much, thats pretty much how it was when I was there. The harbor master used to let us clean our fish on the dock there which was great, we would always leave him with some nice filets, but that came to an end after a while so we just started taking our fish home with us.

The ramp is still open to my knowledge.  Danny is correct you can usually get in no issue on weekdays. I have a contractor pass for pebble beach and a pair of roof racks if you (or anyone) wanted to cruise there on a weekend with me.  Mostly been fishing del monte area this summer havent fished stillwater yet this year.  When you get your kayak all decked out and are ready to fish give me a holler :)

Thanks!!

Cobra was bought out by a New Zealand company and they basically disappeared. They where making great boats. I have a Cobra Marauder which I love but three kayaks is too many. Willing to sell. Message me if interested. 
Revo 13 or Compass are good choices if you go that way. Be prepared for having a lot less deck space to work with on the Revo.

The cove SWS was good to me today.

Well that explains why Cobra isn't  returning my emails! I was hoping they could send me some plastic so I can weld my Marauder. I love my Marauder too which is why I want to fix it. Its so tricked out: fish finder, extra tie off points and attachments and I just put this on it so my poopie dog can have some shade when we're on the lake. Yes I am already bummed about not having as much deck space on the Hobie as I have with the Marauder, there is so much room on and in this boat! You can take everything with you INCLUDING the kitchen sink. Do you have the one where the rectangle hatch is open all the way thru? The later models its just a small rectangular space under it. I also invented a way to put a rudder on mine. They said they were going to come out with a rudder kit for mine but they never did. LOVE LOVE LOVE this boat.  I already plan to put an additional hatch on the back of the Revo 13 behind the seat. My Revo should be showing up around the end of September. I have 4 kayaks and need to get rid of 2. I have a really cool Perception Corona, closed deck kevlar. I love that boat, I used to fish out of it, which is completely nuts and even installed a rod holder on it. I also have a surfing sit on top, need to get rid of both of these boats. Originally I wanted to learn how to surf in my kayak, but once I went fishing it was game over. Cant go out there now without a pole!! And being upside down underneath a kayak SUCKS!!!  :smt009

Well its been a LONG time since I've been in my kayak. 10 Years in fact. I went to Spicer Meadow Reservoir couple of weeks ago and found out the hard way that my Cobra Marauder had a 3" split in the bottom. I made a pit stop after about 1/4 of a mile on the shore and opened a hatch and found that my yak was full of water! A lot of water. Good thing I didnt try to go across the lake like I was going to. So I emptied it out as best I could with my bilge sponge (this is the FIRST and ONLY time I EVER went out without putting my bilge pump on my boat, never again :smt012) and upon further inspection found the problem. I was so bummed! I think the heat inside of my shed from being stored on its side for so long is what caused the split. Its right on the edge of a scupper hole. Then I had to paddle like a mad man back to the boat ramp to get back to my truck and then pump the water out of it with my bilge pump. I really want to fix this thing, I LOVE this boat, I just put a nice shade on it for my poopie dog! Anyway, I'm trying to get Cobra to send me some plastic so I can try and weld it. That should be interesting. In the mean time tho, the new kayak bug has finally come to full manifestation. On Friday I put a down payment on a new Hobie Revolution 13.  :smt044  I cant wait! I remember so many times being a long way off shore trying to get back because it was getting dicey out there and watching these Hobies just go flying past us! I'm in the process of buying a fish finder for it, man have they come a long way in technology in the last 10 years, holy cow! It will be about a month or so before I get it, and a little while longer to trick it all out. How do you guys like your Revolutions those of you that have one? Any tips for plastic welding? I already drilled a small hole on both sides of the split.
Anyway, my favorite fishing spot was putting out at Stillwater Cove by the tennis club off of 17 mile drive. Does anyone know if we can still do that? It was such a great spot to launch from. I will definitely be looking for some fishing buddies to go out with, all of mine have moved  :smt009  I do need to stop watching You Tube videos of sharks attacking kayaks.......

For Sale / NECKY DOLPHIN
« on: March 29, 2014, 12:03:47 PM »
Ok people! I have a Necky Dolphin here for 400 dollars down from 500.  Its in very good condition and has two flush rod holders installed behind the seat. It also has a rudder and 3 hatches. I have 4 kayaks and I need some more room in my shed! Im tired of hitting my head on the dang things. I also have a surfing sit on top and a closed deck kevlar Perception Corona as well that I need to get rid of. Believe it or not I used to fish out of my Corona, I put rod holders in it and added some inflatable sponsoons on the side for stability. ANYWAY, there is a good cause here as well, I am donating the money I receive for the Necky to Voice of the Martyrs. :smt002

For Sale / Necky Dolphin STILL FOR SALE
« on: September 13, 2013, 09:04:37 PM »
I have a Necky Dolphin for sale! Its in very good condition and is a great boat for a smaller size paddler. It has 3 hatches and a rudder. I installed two rod holders behind the seat and added a bunch of eyelets for deck rigging. Im asking 500 dollars. I also have 2 other kayaks for sale as well, a kevlar Perception Corona and an Islander Surfing Kayak. My kevlar one does have a rod holder in it, I fished out of it for a while with some inflatable sponsoons on the side. It was pretty nutty I will admit, much better off in a sit on top.
