2008 Hobie Outback Fish Hank Parker Edition
sit-on-top kayak
Seat
Paddle
MirageDrive pedal system
Twist'n'Stow Rudder system
I'll also include the Wheeleez cart, which works despite having one bad wheel.

The boat itself weighs 62 pounds.
It's 12'6" long and 34" wide.
Hobie rates it for 400 pounds, which is plenty in most cases, and I honestly believe they're sandbagging.

I've owned it since January of this year, and taken good care of it. She's been a faithful vessel for the tourneys with Bass-n-Tubes
Stable and fast. I do a fair amount of fishing standing up on this kayak.

Wind Toys has these new for around $1750 I stand corrected, Wind Toys carry the '08 models for $1649+tax now.  It's the essentially identical '09s that are $1749

That is actually where I got this boat and they took good care of me, throwing in plenty of extras.  One of which I forgot I had because I never installed it.  And I will include it here:
1 Scotty Fly rod holder with flushmount.

I'm asking $1400 firm.

If you're interested or know anybody, let me know.

Is it stock or have alterations been made i.e. FF, additional rodholders, etc.?  Color?  Pictures?

As for modifications they are minimal:
I carried a 50 quart igloo livewell for bass tourneys in the rear well, so I added small cleats for tying it down (I like thins secure).  used screws, so minimal hole size can be sealed if desired.

also ran an FF (not included) mounted on pvc standing in mast location with pvc arm for the transducer, so no epoxy stuff in the hull

ran an aerator and water pump (not included) so there is a notch cut in lip under forward hatch that allows uncrimped passage of FF wires and a 1/4" hole drilled in high side of rear well for passage of wiring for my livewell (not included)

Oh, installed a 12V socket/receptacle in port tool tray, probably wasn't the best place for that, but could be replaced with Scotty rodholder mount without changing hole size (I think)

Color is Dune or Sand or whatever they call it.
Fishing alone never got around to taking pics, best I can do is I might be able to post some this weekend.

Wow...after typing it all out, it takes more words than I expected, but the boat really is mostly stock
