bobfishgerald Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Probably from before 2010, red, solid but ancient Hobie tandem kayak with two mirage drives that are newer and in pretty good shape. Maybe a cart and some other gear if needed but needs to be picked up in 01945. Has to go all together on account of separate is a hassle. There's always something left over. Plus I need the hull gone. Pictures if serious. Asking $500, OBRO - which is really just more about the drives than anything. Kayak itself is solid and sound, but very old. The rudder turning and dropping wires are all strung up but the rudder will need to be repaired as it broke being moved. Hatches are water tight. Seats are tired but work.

Cheers Brad One drive is clearly more current. The other is older and one of the foot straps is broken. Let me know if you need more. Probably should add pic of bottom.

Lot of scratches on the bottom. There is a bow in the bottom from where it was stored partially on a log or something. Cosmetic and not impacting the operation of the kayak. have some pictures of the bottom. you can see the deformation in one of the pictures. I’m going to get a picture from the side because it looks deeper than it is in these when were you thinking about meeting in Springfield? Pomatomus saltatrix es maximus!

Anywhere in Springfield … never been there, used Google to find a halfway point. when are you available to meet - I’m away Labor Day weekend but can do anytime from tomorrow onwards. Assuming we can coordinate the Springfield meetup … I’ll take this for asking. Many thanks bfg Any society that charges it's own children for knowledge, is doomed to fail.
