Hello NCKA, I will be making a move to Asia, so I will need to clear up some space. These are great kayaks that I have spent years trying to acquire and if I wasn’t moving, id be keeping them forever. But sadly, don’t see myself kayaking anymore in the near future due to various health issues.
2015 Hobie Revolution 16 in yellow. The conversion: This kayak was acquired from a member on fns who had done this conversion to many other Hobie kayaks. It was installed with proper backing. And an extra hatch was installed on the deck of the rear tankwell. All the parts for the conversion were brand new (even the red ama) when I bought the kayak and I have had it for 2 years and have taken it on the water under 10 times for crabbing and rockfish and halibut. I bought this for the salmon, but sadly the fishery remained closed. The setup is only for right side installation. Meaning you will be fishing on the left side of the kayak. The setup will include 1 trampoline.
The Kayak: The revo 16 is in great condition, usual scratches on the hull but since I’ve had it the transducer has been installed and it sticks out so I don’t really drag the kayak anyways. Vantage seat, and gt turbo fins on the drive. No reverse. Ive also installed keel guards for the front and back out of kydex. Kayak will include a few pat r mounts for the AI cross bars and aka. Upgraded rudder installed. New bungees. Gorilla tape on hull good for one season! And a few scotty mounts. Fishfinder: Fishfinder is a Lowrance elite FS7 This is a very nice FF and this is why the asking price for this kayak is on the higher niche market. Its $899 new. The transducer has been installed on the bottom of the factory Lowrance cutout. Very sturdy install but I would not drag the kayak or drop it on the transducer. A lot of features and very fun to use. Definitely a game changer vs the Lowrance hook line.
Battery box is a plano waterproof box and I have it set up to accept a m18 milwaukee battery. The one included is a 9ah one. This battery powers the ff above for about 6-8 hrs. this can also run the Lowrance head unit for carry along use for trails, off road, navigation on land as well. Paddle bending branches paddle. Will also include a kayak cover brand new.
Asking price $2700 obo $2600 if you don’t use Milwaukee and ill keep my battery box.
Wilderness Tarpon 120 Blue (new styles seat) Wilderness rudder kit New bungees, new carry handles. Aqua bound paddle Asking $550 obo
Shipping Crate for kayak and gear storage with Yakima bars and saddles. Approx 6x4 shipping crate with wheels, insulation, top and side open panels with very nice buckles. I installed some Yakima bars to store my kayak in the garage and wheel it out when I need to and I kept all my kayaking and camping gear in it. Very very neat! Will include whatever other Yakima rack parts I can find. Asking NOW $100 come with full size truck!
More moving sale items to come. IMO this revo 16 is an S tier kayak for what guys like me do. Crabbing and salmon. The tarpon 120 is a great grab and go kayak for surf, or for beginners, as this is the 2nd one I have owned.
Pick up in San Jose only (or ncka express), usually after 4pm. PM if you have any questions.
