PA 12 and Outback new option - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Andy, do you think this would work with the Hobie Adventure Island?

Can someone say bait tank?

With just a little more tinkering I see someone putting in a bait tank right there. Kind of like the "kaya tank"

Wouldnt it be great if Hobie made a factory tank option to put right there? Imagine all the room behind you without that big tank?

2013 Hobie product of the year award!

Looks great! Now I need one.

Matt,

Glad it worked out! I had not checked older models as I only had access to 2012. Thanks for posting up the modifications needed.

No this would not work on the Adventures.

Those pics look familiar...

Here is my first outback from June 2005

The boat hatch I installed to try to get a little more storage. It leaked like a SOB.

Back when rats, tights, and water shoes were cool...

Mac's were cool enough to me to take pictures of...

Until I caught one of these- that was the beginning of the end. Can you say cluttered deck?

When can I expect my royalty check from Hobie?

With how much thought Hobie puts into the smallest detail of everything they make, I'm sure this will be a pretty awesome upgrade.

Iceman,
I have a 2012 outback and wondered if you had any pics yet on the install and final of the new hatch yet? Wonder hoe the mirage drive bungee attachment point will be when this is done?
