I joined the “Dark Side”

Like several avid kayak anglers before me, I’ve descended slowly into the “Dark Side”.

Paddle kayak to pedal kayak to Arima!!!

I’m so F*ing excited. Just can’t believe the boat I’ve been dreaming about for years is sitting in my driveway!

I will still fish from my Hobie, sometimes… I swear.

See you all out there soon!

Cheers,

~Alex

And I thought an AI was the darkest side…

Very nice, grats!  That looks like it will fit the whole family 

Nice. Life is too short so enjoy it while you can!!!!

Congrats on the new boat! I looked at a few of those at Albion this year. They look like a great boat.

Awesome! I keep threatening to get a real boat, I’m jealous lol

Congrats!! She’s a beauty! Give us some deets!

Arima are nice boats.

This is beyond the dark side 

Thanks, guys.

It’s a 2018 Arima Sea Chaser 19’ - freshly delivered from the original owner up in Portland after just ~150 hrs of use. It’s pretty much bare bones right now, but I’ll be adding a radar tower and electronics to it soon.

Home port is Bodega, about a 25 min drive away. Shoot me a message if you’d like to head out some time.

It’s kinda torture that I can’t take it out yet… Gotta wait for the boat/trailer title to show up in the mail so I can register and insure it.

Congrats, bro - quality boat for sure.

I get seasick on powerboats, or I probably never would've gotten so into kayaks!     Truth!

Enjoy.   

Congrats! I love Arima boats

Saw your post on coastside... welcome to the true madness

You do know BOAT sta do for break out another thousand, right?

BTW for your radar tower, I'd highly,  highly recommend  Pacific Yacht towers down in San Diego. They did my ttop its just perfect....

And I thought an AI was the darkest side…

AI w/ motor maybe somewhere in between

Congratulation on your Arima Boat, Alex

I have been following your post "I want your Sea Chaser (17 or 19 - in California)" at ArimaOwners.com
Love to check out your boat once it is all set up.
My wife and I are considering a boat once we are retired in a couple of years.
Our current choices are either Arima or C-Dory.
