| Post subject: | I am finally a TI owner!! |
I've previously owned a Getaway and Adventure kayak. I had to get rid of the Getaway when my kids came along and I've missed sailing ever since. I've always wanted a TI that I could use with kids or for a "spirited" solo sail. Well, my wife surprised me and bought us a used TI this Christmas!!!! I am thrilled! I don't know what year it is exactly, but it's at least a 2015 as it has the new seats. I've gone over it in great detail and there is only one component that doesn't work - the little drains under the seats. Other than that, there is some scuffing from where the port outrigger/ama rubbed against the hull right where the Hobie logo is when folded on the trailer. I'm pretty sure I can replace the drains and I can live with the scuffing (maybe it's a good place for a big Hobie sticker LOL). Anyway, as I did when I restored my Getaway, I am sure I will have plenty of questions for you all. So more to come. Perhaps I'll see some of you out on the water. I sail from Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs, FL. Cheers |

Ok. Checked the serial number and the last two digits are 15, so I am guessing this is a 2015. |

First of All..... Congrats!!! You n ur family will have many fun times and great memories of your TI adventures!! Plz keep reading this forum!!! I have learned so much from our collective experiences. Plz see if there is a TI Group near you..... they say a Picture is worth a 1000 words, just hanging out with Another Hobiewan can prevent a costly lesson! Enjoy!! |
