SOLO SKIFF PROGRESS THREAD

[AlwaysFishing]

I removed the deckmate seat. There just isn't enough cushion for a long day on the water. It was making my bottom all numbed and my back was hurting. I put back my more cushioned seat but kept the seat swivel.

Dear Hobie Corporation, Please consider producing a foam-filled Hobie kayak with an outboard motor mount.

Do a knock-off or a better version as I know you can.

I would buy a solo skiff today, but that seems impossible due to poor management

This has become ridiculous

If Hobie makes one, it will be in the $5k range.
Mike from Solo Skiff said they fixed the problem and is starting up production again in a couple of weeks. I hope it's true for all the people who are waiting. Price is now $2350 plus tax and shipping. Kinda sucks that people who puts deposit down before the price increase will have to pay the higher price. That's ain't right.

It would be nice if Hobie offered a gas motorized version of their quality kayaks. In the meantime, you might want to consider a Profisha 14 over a Solo Skiff, it's bigger, lighter, and has more capacity.

The U.S. dealers website for Stealth Kayaks does not work. Not a good sign.

Works fine, I accidentally messed up the paste on the previous post.

They don't have much distribution in the US, so it's not a fast purchase, but I have checked them out at the Florida distributor's and so far everything that I have seen are of good quality.

Just got back from Vegas, broke even on the last night playing craps for what seemed like an hour, but was actually 8hrs.

Haven't been out in a few weeks so yea, surf looks good for the Solo Skiff, see ya out there!

Bag of mixed rockfish, buddy landed that toad of a Calico, 23”. Planning a few 9mile bank trips with the Scout Community, will be cool to see a dozen Solos and a dozen Scouts smashing off shore.

Went out last Saturday too, SD Bay for some Butts, but was immediately bummed when the bait barge only had dinky chovies, 3” max. Managed to catch a few spotties, shaker and a Buzz. . Buddy Nelson maiden voyage on his Scout was cool to be apart of.
