I was woundering how i would go about trading a yak?...........how much would i lose on the prize i paid?......how much is the hobie?.........all ive done to the yak is add a FF and ive only drilled one hole in it which was for the FF.
whos traded there yaks before.......would i be better trying to sell it myself and then go and buy the hobie or trading it at a shop?

Any info would be great thanks Rik

yeah mate ive been out with Poly a couple of time and his outback is sweet with that mirage drive..........cos i do most of my fishing in the river i want something that i can hold my position.
I stoke to the missis and she was like "if you want to trade in your brand NEW yak you've had only 10 WEEK that find with me......but how about we pay off the one you've got first"

Next time you're out with poly, just ask him if you can take it for a pedal first up, of course you will need a rod with you, just to get the feel of it of course, then pedal off quick so you can stay out of earshot as he swears at you to bring his hobie back.

Rik, I would think you would get good a good resale price on the Predator as they are a top boat. Feel free to advertise it on here and see what response you get. If I was only ever going to fish sheltered waters and structure then I would own a Hobie as for this I think they are perfect so they sound like they are the right boat for what you are doing at the moment. As Gatesy said however a test paddle/peddle would still be a good idea between various Hobie models to find which one is best for your usage.

Catch ya Scott

For sure i think a test peddle is going to be needed. Thats not the problem, the problem is this "Darling dear of mine now ive sold my yak and got back the $1350 we/you payed, i now need $1000 more for my new one"
hmmmmm i dont think its going to go down to well :lol: :lol: :lol:

Rik, you are approaching this all wrong. Start looking at 30 grand bream boats, telling her you need the bow mounted Minn Kota to hold postion while you work structure. Allow yourself to be talked out of this and compromise with a hobie that allows you to do the same thing.

Catch ya Scott

Scott and Gatesy, you crafty negotiators. So I was doing it wrong when I showed me missus how ya can make a canoe out of a sheet of old roofing iron folded lengthwise. Instead, I should have been buying those fancy yachting mags and drooling over the big boats.

guys i love the logic.......its all about compromise.

No Majik it's not....it's all about getting what you want :wink: :twisted:

 

[andybear]

I for one, would never ever stoop so low, as to use low cunning, and skullduggery to get what I want....."The small print woman,you were supposed to read the small print".... :twisted:

Cheers all Andybear :lol:
