SOLO SKIFF PROGRESS THREAD

I looked at Livingston's and just not my cup of tea (i wont be trailering my SOLO ), although i think Morgan from Hobie has a badass one for sale for like 6k or 7k. These Solos are basically a kayak on steroids, keeping that up close connection with the sea, but giving that option to cover so much more ground. The rigging options are endless, cost is cheaper (unless your are thinking about a bare bones Livingston), option to surf launch, etc. All in all its a matter of personal preference.

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.

It's as much a kayak as a PA. They both are made of Rotomolded polypropylene and can both be paddled, although I think the Solo would be easier.

Except one is powered by gas and the other by self propulsion so know they aren’t the same and you probably have to register your small boat aka skiff lmao it’s super cool though just not a kayak does it even have a back up ores lol

I mean Skiffs in the name just saying

[FISH11]

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!

It’s all good it wasn’t a debate more of a fact check lmao have fun on that vessel. It is a sweet fishing platform I’ll give you that.

[FISH11]

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.

Solos have been out a while and I only got testy as you put it when it was compared to a kayak. Shouldn’t this be on a different thread. Never claimed to be an OG as you put And why are you defending the guy like he’s your retarded step son. A Solo is not a kayak and shouldn’t even be compared to one. Should maybe start a new thread for solos.
