Mid June
OEX notified me and the others that the manufacture is behind and our new ETA is Mid-June. It is what it is, COVID got everything delayed.
Whats crazy though is that I was 3rd in line and there is now over 17 solo skiff being purchased. Pretty cool to see the community supporting local business like OEX! T-minus 2 weeks!! |
It's weird. It's like my ordered Solo Skiff is planning on getting here for my birthday.
|
This thread had me questioning my next purchase. Pro angler or ?? Did consider the solo skiff. I just think the pro angler is so comfortable I wanted to have one again.

While you guys are waiting, I've been working on mine. Sunday I installed an HDS 7 touch and transom mounted the transducer on plate stainless from Industrial Metal Supply. Looking forward to fishing with all you new owners when you get set up...

The ease of being able to cover ground while still having that close to the water interaction is what im stoked for!! |

Im going to use the H-rail ram mount method on the back grab bar, similar with the steal plates for added depth, but like to be able to fold up since i will be using a bed extender instead of trailer to transport. Im now thinking about returning my Hook 7 reveal due to the transducer only having high chirp-200htz. I need either the 83 or 50 option for rock fishing or winter time yellows. The reveal looks to be designed for freshwater settings, 60ft or less type fishing. Im either going to get the TI or the Simrad Cruise, not sure yet. |
Yea, I initially had a Hook 7 on this - and it is designed for fresh water, so really doesn't cut it. Finally buckled down and made the upgrade, but won't be able to use it for several weeks due to a new fence installation at home this weekend.

Thanks Chris for making me aware of this, seems the hook series is for the freshwater angler, except the Deep water option, but thats over $800 and it seems its just the 50/200mhz transducer, so not sure why so expensive. |

Anyone have one near Ventura county
Anyone near Ventura County owning one of these sweet machines? I’m thinking kelp beds out by oil piers. Maybe surfing the base, or run down towards malibu. Doesn’t seem so scary when the highway is In The background. I had no idea about these crafts until this post. I was honestly about to buy a Outback and I’m having second thoughts. Do they come with cf # exc? Thanks

There's quite a few FB pages that have tons of info: * SoCal Solo Skiffs (we created this one) * Official Solo Skiff owners * West Coast Skiffs * Solo Skiff Owners of Texas FYI, OEX has a wait list of over 20 people, so this little skiff is about to become the new "IN". :cheers1: |

I sold my pa long time ago thinking about the solo skif Is the Suzuki worth 150 dollars extra? I think it's few # less Cooler for the fish and for drinks? Installing a kill bag on top the front will restrict the use of the bait tank? I have seen one with custom aluminum rack over the outboard area with bunch of rod holders mandatory 360 light |
For those of you buying one of these and planning to use a trailer and not surf launch, why not a livingston or small aluminium skiff?

I will be using the front hatch as a bait tank and the medium size reliable bag barely covers the very front of the hatch, hints why i bought the clear center hatch option to access my bait. see pic. Plus i didnt want to have to keep removing the bungee to access bait because there is no other securement for the lid. |

I'M LOL........ Just rolling on the floor. I knew I could troll someone into that age old debate. I just sold my 2016 Hobie Revo 13 that I fished extensibly since I bought it. I started out as a paddler after 3 1/2 yrs I bought the Revo and now I just want the ability to cover water (ground) as much as weather allows for very little money. i still intend to fish my Malibu X Factor sometimes and have it for when family wants to join. NO KAYAK or skiff is perfect!

No problem it's all good. It's just fun stirring the pot when the fishing reports have been so scarce. Giving another try on the Malibu in the morning.
