WTB Hobie Inflatable

Anyone have one they're looking to get rid of?  As I get older and lazier, just looking for a light weight solution to get me on the water. 

As a cautionary note, the hassle of unpacking, assembling and inflating coupled with doing the reverse when you are done may outweigh perceived gains. Ask me how I know....
 

Not to mention the glue failing after 5-10ish yrs.  I ditched the one I got as an experiment and moved to a Lynx.  1000x better in almost every way

I had a Hobie i9 and I think it was quicker to unpack and set up than my Lynx. But it didn't have the FF or rod holders so that is probably why.
It was also pretty slow. I loved how it fit in the trunk. I didn't like having to unpack and inflate it at home to dry it off before storing. The seat was not comfortable but I think the newer ones have real chairs.
I places a rubber bath mat between the seat and the pedals as extra protection against fish spine punctures, hooks, etc.

The Lynx has been my go-to now. Great for fresh water. Pretty good for salt water except for larger shore break - gets tossed pretty easily but stable once on the ocean. I use it 90% of the time compared to my Outback.
Flat and stable and 45 lbs to put on the roof - I don't need to rest it 1/2 way on when loading/unloading. The lack of storage and lack or side walls is a minus. I've lost a few things off it. The cupholder sucks - I need to get an aftermarket one.
They are expensive so look for used if you can find one.

Thanks everyone for the input, really appreciate you guys stopping me from making a purchase I'd regret.  Found a i12s in Santa Cruz I was going to check out but based on everything you guys have said, I'm going to stay away from the inflatable Hobies.

Might have to go check out a Lynx and demo one if I can.

I got a newish Revo 11 recently and it’s really easy to carry around, dude. Surprisingly fast too.

Ditto on the little Revo.  My days of heaving a 75lb yak on my shoulders are over and the 11 is easy to move around.

I dunno if I'm ready to take advice from someone named ex-kayaker.  Do you even yak bro?   .

Thanks for the suggestion guys.

I have i11s for wife and I.   Fit in the back seat of the crew cab.   I mounted mounts to a large cutting board that slides under the seat.   Best addition is

Makes inflate and deflate easy.   I plug in to trick, but a small 12v battery would make it portable.
