Why buy a hobie? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Lol! That's very creative. Don't think it will do as well against strong winds or go as fast as a mirage drive. Prettily ingenious though if a bit clumsy looking.

Looks like some thing a guy made in his garage. And that's not a bad thing. Maybe not ideal for fishing but it is simple. Simple is good. Just the 1 pivot joint. No rudder or moving parts. Mike

True, I like my hobie too!

It'd be a fun project to try out. If I had a beater yak I'd try it.
