Native Ultimate 16 Tandem for sale

Modifications: original seller corrected, price lowered after a check of my records revealed I'd gotten it at a lower price. 

 I bought this boat in May, 2008 from Spike (corrected - I mistakenly put Mooch's name in the original post). At the time it was a new boat, minus one trip he'd made to Hog Island to check the handling. Despite lots of assurances and good intentions, it's turned out that I'm living with a family of flakes. In over two years, I've never had the boat in the water. Having it on the trailer is interfering with my ability to take one of the singles out, and I'm getting fat waiting for the family to warm to the notion of kayaking. So it's time for it to go.
  You can probably find the original ad from May, 2008; it was still here the last time I looked. The boat's blue, has what appear to be very comfortable removable seats (which have been taking up space in the covered bed of my truck for over two years now), and is in excellent condition. Almost immediately after buying it, I had a custom cover made for it, which has remained in place ever since. I don't recall whether I added anything else to it or not, but if I did, it wouldn't have been anything more than Scotty bases or such. Anything like that should be considered lagniappe, since I can't remember and don't want to invert the boat to check.
  Price is $700 firm, cash or PayPal, first genuine offer takes it, and I'll deliver free of charge in Marin or Sonoma Counties, or within about 45 miles. The boat's located in Novato. PM me for any additional information.

FWIW, these are really nice little boats.  I have had one for about a year or so that I have come to prefer for freshwater fishing and it's been great for taking my 5-year old out in.  I've even used it for salmon in the Klamath river last year and it worked out just great.  Can easily be set up for solo or tandem and you'll have to look hard to find a more comfortable boat to sit in all day.

  I realized recently that I'd made an error in the name of the seller from whom I bought the boat. All the Mooch news on the site must have clouded my mind; I bought the boat from Spike.
  And I checked back over my records and realized I'd paid less for the boat than I recalled; he had lowered the price and that's when I bought it. So I've dropped my price accordingly. Details are in the original listing about one page down from this one - bottom line, a nearly-new 2008 boat with custom-made cover for $700 and I'll deliver it free of charge within a reasonable distance. If it doesn't sell at this price, I'll keep it.

bump....merged both posts.  good luck with the sale, looks like a cool rig.

i've paddled the ultimate before - not the tandem - but it is very comfortable since the seat is better than standard SOT seats.  great freshwater boat like EK said, non scuppered/not self bailing so probably not a boat for the ocean.

looks like a really good price, i'd take it but i think i'd have the same problem as you do with not being able to get anyone to go with me.  good luck selling it - highly recommended for anyone looking for a nice comfortable canoe hybrid.

very nice, if i only had my wife in agreement

After looking at the photos of the filthy Hobie tandem, I figured this clean tandem deserved a BUMP. It's still available.
