Matt,
Any new pics of some completed 2015's?

Matt and some pix of the 2015 cradles if they are ready.

Oh, I hope you and the family had a good Christmas and New Years period too.

Damn it, we are a demanding bunch. (sorry)

Cheers, Bob.

Speaking of cradles, will the 2015 versions be a different part number? If so, do you already have that P/N available? I've wanted to go ahead and complete my order but was waiting to hear about the cradles.

I had this question for the plug-in cart cradle and the TI dolly as well as the trailer cradles.

New pics of the TI are on the Hobie site. Handles are gone. Looks like the sail has had some work done to it. Different cut on the bottom, more squared off and re-enforced at the top. Looks like the main batten now has a bend to it, and there have been some color changes. I don't know if it's the angle but it seems that the main hull isn't as wide and the amas look a little small. I'd be curious to see if there were any true dimensional changes between the '14 and '15.

My dealer said the TI cradles are the same so I went ahead and purchased them when I ordered the boat.
Matt could you confirm that there is no change to the TI cradles for 2015 ?
Thanks

chris

No change to the TI hull bottom / cradles.

Matt,
Am I to take that as the dimensions haven't changed then and the picture on the site just looks funny? That's fine, I was just noting the differences that I saw.

The difference in the hull and Amas is simply to the bows. The hull bottoms where the cradles support the hull are unchanged.

Thanks Matt, I thought that was the case but wanted to be sure before using the cradles I purchased.
My local dealer, Austin Kayak, is expecting my TI to be here before the end of the month. I may be picking it up with an unpainted trailer if the weather doesn't start cooperating.
