Post subject: | 2016 TI w/ trailer - quesions on price and what to check |
Last fall while at my partner's family's house I tried a hobie SUP with MirageDrive. They also had a tandem kayak. I've wanted both a small sailboat and a kayak/canoe for a while, and thought the pedal drive system was amazing. I looked at Hobie's lineup and found the TI, and immediately said that was the boat for me. I've been saving money and I'm ready to buy one. There didn't seem to be a lot here in the midwest used when I checked last fall, but before pulling the trigger on a 2024 from an online dealer, I did a quick check and found this one on Craigslist: https://racine.craigslist.org/boa/d/zio ... 78329.html It's a 2016 TI. Asking price is $8500. Appears to be in decent condition from the pics. It comes with:
With a new model I was also planning a cheap trailer from Harbor Freight or Northern Tool, slightly modified. I estimate that buying a 2024, getting a trailer, trampolines, splash guards, and a fishfinder would run me $10,900.

I can only tell you about the strap over ama/hull/ama on a trailer: It will damage the ama and hull where they rub against eachother Look at inside about half way of ama I don’t see it as a big deal Open the drain-plug at the back of the ama’s, they should be dry at the inside, The inside of the hull can be whet Hull deformation? All the lines of the boat shoot be smooth and straight, iff there is a deformation you will see a dent ( which isn’t there on the other side of the hull or ama Don’t forget to check the underside for damages Can not tell you about prices, i am in a diffrent country so other prices Have fun on the water Peter (very happy AI sailor) |
