How much the wrap did cost U champ ?I had a coght on my 2012 hobie 14 for 800 $ Australian duler with same kind off marlin print do U think 800 good ?

Bill Ghorban - 5 years ago

How much cost U to wrap Ur hobie kayak dude ?

Bill Ghorban - 5 years ago

U shud get a boat dude if U really want to stand up and fish lol

KayakAdventures210 - 5 years ago

Why? I can get places boats can't. I can travel where kayaks can't reach while using the motor. Storage is easier than a boat. Price and maintenance is nothing to argue over. And wait or it...……….. I can stand up and fish.

Bo Wagoner - 5 years ago

If your drive breaks down five miles away from the ramp that thing would be a bitch to paddle back.

KayakAdventures210 - 6 years ago

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Mr. Sway - 6 years ago

all and all u should have gotten a boat

KayakAdventures210 - 6 years ago

Here we go again... I've saved a hell of a lot of money getting a yak then a boat. I can launch it anywhere and everywhere a boat can not. I can store it in places a boat can not be stored. And oh yea, I can do everything a boat can do plus more. So please explain to me why I should have gotten a boat? I'll wait...

Obviouslyataco - 6 years ago

You should tip this over without your gear in shallow water and practice flipping it back over before it sinks. It will save you someday in deep water

KayakAdventures210 - 6 years ago

Obviouslyataco Hobies can't be flipped.

no life jacket...? Hope you're a good swimmer...just an personal view...you don't look like you could swim 4 feet

T4C - 6 years ago

So you can survive under 2 feet of water...? Are you the new fish man? Lets be honest you'd sink further than i can swim....which is about 3 miles

KayakAdventures210 - 6 years ago

T4C No need for one when your in 2 feet of water. And lmao, Im sure i could out swim you and your momma any day.

Joel Materna - 6 years ago

Looks awesome man! I really want to get a Hobie PA but they are pretty pricey. For your polling platform, could you not just stand on your cooler?

Eric No - 6 years ago

Does it float in case it goes overboard?

Ashley Kenneth - 6 years ago

Hi Mark... just wondering if you can still steer with the kayak rudder to turn right snd left as I plan to extend the engine Throttle wire, steer with the kayak rudder and run the engine straight... have you tried this and will it work?

Ashley Kenneth - 6 years ago

Thanks Mark that's awesome and more convenient, reason why i asked was because you used the extended tiller to steer on the Blue Kayak, I did not know that you can still steer with the kayak Rudder even though the engine Prop is running behind it.... This way I can set the engine to run straight as 12 O'clock as you suggested, set the throttle to run at 4knots and then steer using the kayak rudder... Thanks Mate enjoy your vids, good job

KayakAdventures210 - 6 years ago

Ashley Kenneth Yes, that is exactly how I steer the yak. I use the rudder, it is so much more convenient. Keep the motor at the 12 o'clock, and use the rudder to steer.

Todd Howard - 7 years ago

i'm new to kayak fishing, how do these hobie's compare to the jackson kayaks? do you need the pedal drive systems?

KayakAdventures210 - 7 years ago

Not to familiar with the Atak

KayakAdventures210 - 7 years ago

You'll really like the comfort of the PA because of its stability, but it's bulky and is best if there is a boat ramp or open ramp... Also check out the Hobie Outback... But you cant go wrong with a Jackson, rugid, not to heavy, yet stable to stand in.

Todd Howard - 7 years ago

oh ok, more than likely small bodies of water, stand up fishing for bass. i'm in south FL

Todd Howard - 7 years ago

thanks man for your reply. what do you know about the atak kayak? they seem pretty sweet too

KayakAdventures210 - 7 years ago

It's all comes down to what type of water you decide to fish.

KayakAdventures210 - 7 years ago

Todd Howard Awesome, welcome. It's a great way to fish no matter what yak your in... So the Hobies come with the pedal included, you can still use a paddle if need be, but paddling the Hobie PA is tough due to size... I have a few buddies with Jackson's, and they love it. The capability of fishing all types of water with no issues is beneficial. But I can out peddle them any day of the week, in the roughest conditions possible...

Bad ass for sure but I would rather have a boat, not hating but yaks are supposed to be portable and cheaper, this is not either since you aint putting that on a roof of a car and would take a lot of time to reassemble it. All in all its dope, not hating great job bro,

thai pham - 7 years ago

for all that why not just buy a boat, I like my kayak light

Buy a boat...

KayakAdventures210 - 7 years ago

Dunhollander Not at all, the trailer just make life easier... I can not only get where boats can't, but do what other kayaks cant... Plus I'm not paying tons of money for boat maintenance.

Dunhollander - 7 years ago

KayakAdventures210 because you're builing all that shit on your kayak. Why?? Its so heavy you have to put it on a trailer, all the advantages of having it instead of a boat are gone anyway

KayakAdventures210 - 7 years ago

Dunhollander why...?

Mitch Odom - 7 years ago

how much do you weigh? I'm 6ft 4in 280lbs . was wondering if I would be able to stand back there pole and cast from the front?

KayakAdventures210 - 7 years ago

Mitch Odom I'm currently around 5'11" 230lb. Getting up isn't an issue, getting down in rough conditions can be a little tricky.

Natural Ponds Lakes & Streams by Spring Creek Aquatic Concepts - 7 years ago

We've considered a kayak for portable research boats, then we found the Scadden 9 ft Detonator inflatable pontoon boat that has a sufficiently rigid floor to allow a person to stand. The entire 28 pound craft fits into a duffle bag. Your idea is terrific to create a "flying bridge" to extend the deck over the pontoons to provide more storage and deck space. Thank you. It will be the best of all portable fishing crafts.

Frankie Mcbobicus - 8 years ago

a small bass boat probably would have been cheaper and easier... nice looking rig and well thought out though.

Todd Andrew - 8 years ago

Love it...Great job, innovated! Now while using the platform(s) I noticed your anchored. It would be difficult to maneuver other wise while attempting to step to the platforms and position yourself? your thoughts. Kind regards

KayakAdventures210 - 8 years ago

Todd Andrew Thank you. I've used the platforms while pushing the flats and drifting as well, it hasn't been an issue while in movement.

Nathaniel Voudouris - 8 years ago

awesome setup but i was wandering if you could post all the specs of the kayak and i might even try to build a replica

Tommy Buskirk - 8 years ago

Very cool. Is the pvc reinforced in some way? It's hard to imagine that pvc alone is sturdy enough for the poling platform.

KayakAdventures210 - 8 years ago

Thank you, it is not reinforced. However, im around 200lb and its quite sturdy.

GHFishing - 8 years ago

Great set up man, I'm fixing to purchase my 1st Hobie Kayak tomorrow. I was wondering where you bought that trailer and about the cost. I assume like most trailers it has to be plated as well. is this correct?

KayakAdventures210 - 8 years ago

Awesome, you'll love the PA... The trailer is from Harbor Freight, i should have a video somewhere on my channel about it, the only issue is it does not hold up to corrosion from salt water to well.

Nathan - 8 years ago

I quite like the platform for the front hatch, I might build one for my PA 17T when I get it so that I can mount a solar panel on it to keep my batteries charged for my sonar or motor or downriggers or lights or something. The standing platform is a little confusing to me. How do you access your live well? Couldn't you just build a larger live well and stand on that and maintain the functionality? Good video, though.

Nathan - 8 years ago

+KayakAdventures210 oh that makes sense. Either way good design. Tight lines.

KayakAdventures210 - 8 years ago

Thank you... Ive tried standing on the live well, and they are just not sturdy enough... i also have a yeti roadie, but its not high enough... And the platform actually rotates forward, to access the live well... Check out Charles Levi jr's page on his PA 17t platform setup, its insane... Tight lines...

dapfury - 8 years ago

How do you access your live well? Doesn't seem like the poling platform will allow it

KayakAdventures210 - 8 years ago

the platform can rotate forward.

Much appreciated. I actually did all the work myself... I went to Printmoz.com, uploaded the image and length I wanted, and they printed it out and sent it to me...

tdkman28 - 8 years ago

People commenting "why not just get a boat?". I guess money grows on trees for some of you. Plus if he is a kayak tournament angler then this is a major advantage for redfish. Boats arent always all they are hyped up to be. It takes alot of money to maintain not to mention the gas.

James Mathews - 6 years ago

You can buy a nice used boat for the price of a new hobie pro angler

KayakAdventures210 - 8 years ago

+pugilist102 The trailer makes launching and loading a yak fully rigged is much easier, "Easy on, easy off". And as a single angler the struggle of car topping a kayak regardless of the model, can and always will be a pain... Give a trailer a try.

pugilist102 - 8 years ago

+tdkman28 Anything that requires a trailer is no longer a kayak in my opinion. Kayaks are supposed to be easy on, easy off the water. Not saying his 'yak' isn't cool, it's just that it defeats the purpose of having a kayak in the first place.

Daniel Latorre - 8 years ago

how tall is the rear platform? I just purchased a YETI 50 which stands about 18 inches tall and fits perfectly up against the raised lip just behind the seat. Being that its more of a square than a rectangle, it fits perfect but is a little tall. hope its not wobbly. thanks in advance sir

KayakAdventures210 - 8 years ago

+arturo7023 Thanks man, no problem... And the rear platform is roughly around 24''...

Kayak Chris - 8 years ago

ZDG - 8 years ago

sweet kayak setup. however at the end, picking up a big heavy fish by the hook like it's a bluegill and tossing it onto a hard kayak isn't sportsman like. People need to be gentler with fish they plan to release.
