New ride ready
Got the new "Dark Side Yak" rigged yesterday and took it out to LJ today for the shake down cruise. Hobie Revo 13. Everything worked perfect, just had to adjust the line for the steering when I got home because it had developed some play and made the steering very vague. All the new gear and attachments worked just as I wanted them to. The new Lowrance Elite 5TI worked awesome and I'm glad they didn't have the Elite 7TI in stock because I think on this boat it would have been too large and a bit in the way. The touch screen is sweet. The only thing I wish I had already installed were the turbo fins, I sure could have used the extra speed. They will be installed before the Islander 2.5 day San Clemente trip on Friday. It was just as stable out in LJ even after the winds kicked up, with all the gear and attachments, then it was in Mission Bay were I tested it out at OEX last Saturday with just the plain hull. Can't wait to catch some large quality fish on it. Thank You , Grant at OEX Mission Beach.
