What, if anything, is everyone using for storage and/or transporting your Vantage seat and Mirage drive? These two items are typically removed from the boat when transporting. I don’t want to just toss them in the back of my truck. Can't seem to find the right size storage tote for them. So what is everyone else doing? |

I have an Oasis tandem so two Vantage seats and two Mirage GT drives to deal with. For the drives I use two Hobie Mirage Drive Stow Bag (part #80024). They are okay. I really wish the drives could fold or twist to lay flat. They take up a lot of space in my trailer box, bagged or not. I had the following company custom make me a canvas bag to hold two stacked seats and it works great: https://www.duffels.biz/contact-us.php Peter |

Short day sails.....I stick my seats, drives and outboard in the back of my car. Longer trips....I store my seats, drives and outboard on my trailer. Works great. |

Why remove the seats? I find them a pain to deal with. When the boat is on the roof rack for longer trips I do put a cargo strap over them as a safety measure. A thousand mile trip is no way to test the stock retainer. The mirage drives do fit in the front hatch with a few old life jackets as padding. |

I have not ordered this box yet but it is the best I could find so far. Should fit Vantage seat, Mirage drive, and even the akas. My boat will be kept at my lake house and used by me as a sailing vessel but also by my wife as a kayak. So the akas and amas won't be kept installed normally for ease of use for her. https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/stor ... 3-1-2-gray Figured this box would be good storage lakeside and also good to take on the road. |
