So while inside, the store is all out of used baseballs, and while inquiring about them, I ask the guy if the drive came with the boat, and not only does he say yes, but he says it also comes with a paddle. So I ask him if I can take a look at it, and when I do, realize the drive is in near perfect condition, along with the brand new Hobie Paddle that is also included. I ask how long they've had it, and he says about 3 hrs. So now I'm really starting to think maybe I need to buy this even though I already have 2 kayaks. At that point, the GF says, lets buy it, you can put it on my card!!!!!!!! I offer the guy something less than the $500 they had listed and he doesn't flinch and says "sure". Needless to say, the boat now is part of my fleet of kayaks.
Here's some pix. The drive, rudder, bottom, scuppers, paddle, everything is in new condition. I seriously doubt this boat has ever seen the water other than the rain sitting in whoevers yard it's been in since it was originally bought.
!!! Thanks, never even test rode one, and it didn't come with user manual, and we didn't have a lot of time to play around with it, but hey, that's what this sites for. Were taking it out this tuesday again. She is even more happy now. Thanks!!!!
