Now that Hobie stopped using the older fins on the entry level kayaks, the inventory of spare parts are drying up. Something to keep in mind if you do find someone to do the trade with. |
Thanks for the info John. You?re correct on the low inventory of the older model. With the extra cash I could buy the extra spare parts for future repairs. And I can put the rest towards other kayak upgrades. This 180 is a beauty, but more moving parts, the more headache to repair and more expensive it is.
I?ve decided to keep it, but idk still. Hmmm tough choice.
