When you invest in a Hobie fishing kayak, you're probably interested in how durable it is and how long the kayak is going to last. While the original owner may not keep a kayak for five or ten years, if the kayak is purchased as a used boat, the guy that buys it a few years down the road is certainly interested if the used kayak he or she is buying is worth the price because a lot of kayak fishermen's first kayak is a used kayak.
I got this Hobie Quest kayak in 2005. I'd been kayak fishing for a few years so I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted in a fishing kayak. You can check out some of the kayak fishing adventures on the thread here on the Hobie forums or on my website.
I've posted a short video on how the Hobie Quest has held up under ten years of regular fishing use under conditions that are probably a bit more demanding than your average kayak fisherman, so it's a pretty good look at the durability of the Hobie kayak hulls and general construction.

I'm not selling anything, just enjoy the kayak fishing photos and videos.
