Hi Greg and welcome to the forum. Hobie makes a few tandems, so if you can narrow it down to a pic, or description on the side of the boat, or serial # (hand inscribed on the bottom/side rear of hull), that would help.
Thx RR. My initial concern was that the price seems almost too low. I did purchase it, it’s several years old, but everything works great, and it included a new sail, which is cool, plus a split set of new flippers (the blue ones with sharks teeth on them?). I haven’t looked for serial #, but Demo is sort of engraved on the top in front of the rear seat.
My curiosity re years and updates was to better understand what I have and don’t have (e.g I don’t have the newer 180 Mirage Drive). I,only paid $800, so I am super happy. Gonna take it out in the ocean tomorrow if the seas are calm.
Initially I didn’t think I wanted a tandem, but think I will really like this one. Btw, it is an Oasis. If I take it out solo, should I sit in the front or back? I weigh 200, if that makes a difference?
Ps I see we are neighbors, I am in Oceanside, will keep it in the marina. I’m gonna try a water carpet as a floating dock, any opinion on that?
