WTB Hobie Adventure/Tandem Island

Hey everyone!

So i'm looking into getting a Hobie Adventure or Tandem Island, Preferably used. I enjoy fishing alone from my kayak but a tandem sounds tempting because i'll be able to share the experience with friends and family, since they love fishing as well. I can pick up just about anywhere in the Bay Area. Thanks  

awesome machines and a good bet to find one as some pick these up and soon find it's too much for them…

  Good luck and talk to CC&K, they had a hell of a deal not to long ago one with a trailer

How strong are you?! 

I've seen the used TIs for ~5k now and then on CL.

Whats your budget?

I know its farther away than you were looking,but there's a ti 2013 model on cl reno/Tahoe for 5k

I am thinking about upgrading to the 2015 AI. Have a 2013 Dune AI loaded with goodies. $3500, low use.

Who is CC&K?

How strong are you?!

Fairly strong. 175 and work out 5 days a week. I'm focused on the Tandem now 

Whats your budget?

3k range for a tandem. I found an AI for 2k and a TI with a trailer for 3.5k. Far drive though.

CC&K is California Canoe and Kayak in Oakland. I was searching for a AI last month and CC&K had the best prices on new and used demos. 

I looked at two used AI's and found this thread useful:

And this one shows the changes through the years.

Thanks for shining light on the topic. Ill be reviewing it for the next few days. 

I picked up a 2011, in Nov. 2012.  Might be looking at a 2015 so my 2011 (used ~5x) might become available complete with tramps, rod holders & lowrance HDI ready setup.  Kept on a trailer with Hobie craddles.  Trailer NOT included though.

Tandem?

No.  Single.  Tandem is a beast that just didn't interest me because I generally go solo and a tandem is not an ideal solo for me.

This looks like a pretty sweet deal;
