| Post subject: | Need help determining year of Adventure |
Can anyone give me a year range of an Adventure based on a couple pictures? I know to look at serial number, but the boat isn't near me. The odd thing to me is the mirage drive attachment points. It looks like there's a rotating knob? I'm used to a lever style lock.

Yes, that was the original twist lock knob system for holding the drive in place. Click and Go came out in 2009. |

Looks like my 06 Adventure. The hatches have been replaced with Twist and Sto (mine has the older double latch ones) |

Would a V2 drive fit? If you have one, where would a fishfinder install? Rod holders like Scotty? Is this a good yak for fishing if the price is right and what pitfalls should I look for? Sent from my E6782 using Tapatalk |

It has a Scotty flush mount and what appears to be a plug in front of it that may have been used for wires for fishfinder. The new drive would fit, you just have to cut off the "alignment pins". https://static.hobiecat.com/item_attachments/80010001_80013011_80013001z52.pdf Question is why no drive included? May have been a warranty replaced hull or even stolen? If it was a warrantied hull (that someone kept) you might find damage to the front of the drive well / leak issue for that vintage. Cam lock knobs also had some potential issues. The bolts thread into the hull and the columns of plastic sometimes cracked. |

That's a good question. I was hoping to use one my V2's from my i14t, but I'm not going to modify it for a hull that may have a leak issue Sent from my E6782 using Tapatalk |

An i14 drive does not have the alignment pins... no mod required for that one. |
