Does anyone know if Hobie will sell just a hull and rudder setup? I already have an oasis, would like to get an "09 revo. The drives, paddle, seats are exchangeable between the two yaks. It would give me the best of both worlds. |

Approach dealers in your area. My dealer sells drives, paddles and seats (I've bought a few), so see what type of deal they would offer you. Kayaking Bob |

Interesting question. I'm pretty sure that Hobie will only send dealers a "naked" hull for warranty replacement. So a dealer would have to want to keep all the loose parts. I can see it happening, but best as I know it's never happened at Mariner. Not sure if anyone's asked though. Check with your local dealer. |

we've done it in house, several customers have multiple kayaks and never use them all at once. Hobie will sell just a hull and rudder but its like pulling teeth and you would be foolish not to but the mirage drive for the little bit more, and I mean a little bit. We always sell a few mirage drive a year so we work in house deals on a case by case basis for customers and put the drives in inventory. |

my local dealers answer to your question, and it makes a lot of sense, is buy it and then try selling extra equipment on craigslist or Ebay. You will be amazed how many people have lost stuff to the bottom of a lake. believe me the parts cost a lot more then the whole boat. so you may came out ahead a little. |

I'll talk to my local dealer. May be easier to buy the entire yak, didn't think it would be so involved! |
