Received my new H-Crate. Really like it. Great way to keep gear assembled and ready for transport to your Hobie. Nice addition to my new 2015 Outback. Some thoughts. You WILL need a firm, flat surface to set this on while assembling. And something like a wooden mallet to tap arms into place. As should be, REALLY snug fit. This unit is NOT for easy disassemble and transport as some have suggested. A little light oil smoothed on arms before inserting makes it easier. The H-Rail system is perfect for add ons.
The H-Rail Tackle Bin tray has drain holes in the bottom. The large bin below however has none. Any water entering the tray (rain, spray) will drip, guess where, into the bin. Engineering flaw, but simple to fix. Break out drill, have at it.
On the new Vantage CT Seat. An engineering marvel, and worth upgrading any older Mirage Hobie for. Instead of waiting for your first trip out learning how to adjust to your liking when you could be fishing or traveling to fish, place unit on carpeted floor, sit in and do the major adjustments to seat and back angle and lumbar.
Just sayen,
