Hi all,
I'm considering purchasing a hobie kayak.
One of those ones that you pedal.
They look & seem like they would do what I require. I want something I can load on the Triton by myself & have a bit of a paddle around & a fish.
I like the idea of being able to get out on the water & not having to carry motors & fuel etc etc.
Does anyone have any experience with these?
Cheers.
Daryl

G'day Daryl
We have an Outback Fisherman and a Sport. They are great for fishing and exploring creeks and rivers. We have also had them out on the ocean - no problems. It's very relaxing peddaling up a creek, steering with one hand and a bundy in the other while dragging a lure behind. We have one sail and when we feel like doing nothing I put up the sail, rope the two kayaks together and sail off.
I can get the Outback onto the utes racks by myself if needed. If it was too much of a struggle you could always put one end up on the back rack and then slide it up.
Unfortunately we will be selling ours soon - we have got a van now and don't seem to have enough time to get enough use out of them.
