Fourscore and four years ago....someone was thinking about spending $400 on a cooler. Look at RTIC. They're less.

The Wahoo hull reminds me of the Malibu Stealth 14 hull. My buddy had one, and it was really stable.

I understand, on paper it might seem so, but in real world, no. It would similar to adding a skeg to a kayak, and touting it as adding stability. It isn't something I'd say was a marketable feature. The boat feels the same to me whether the Mirage Drive is installed or not. The double tunnel hull and square stern add more to the stability, as well as the width to length ratio.

I bet the water itself matters, too. I mean ours are federally controlled and policed by USCG, along with ICE/Border Patrol and the Sheriff.

I get that a lot. I don't see it.

Since when would a state law override a federal law?

What could go wrong?

I prefer a round weight, and I prefer lead because it's bigger. For whatever the reason, they hang up less where I fish. Plus, you don't get the false positive thump when it falls over when you do the lift and drop thing. I start at 1/2 oz. and go up to an ounce. Sound heavy? Yeah, I'm fishing 30' or more, and I do not want the rig to move until I move it. I still use ML and M spinning gear. It doesn't matter because I'm mostly pitching it a short distance from the boat, or just dropping it over the side.

And what about the people that risk their lives to recover the bodies? To each their own, too?

Thanks for posting that. I was wondering how the new crop of square stern designs got around tracking issues. Now I can see the strakes and the keel.

TourneyX predates MLF. @THE_Vue's that stinks. I've fished TourneyX tournaments and fished where I had no service, so I always left myself plenty of time to upload. I sort feel like it's similar to making a long run for good fish in a bass boat tournament - you gotta leave time for the run back.

I did in the past. I might again, but I haven't really been too interested.

This is a bass fishing website

I got flowers at work yesterday.

I haven't seen anything like that on mine. I would contact Hobie about it.

This thread is only four years old. I think the record is 14.

I own a Hobie Compass, and it makes zero difference. The fins naturally default to straight down, due to gravity. I often grab one of the pedals to move while standing and fishing. I can't feel any difference, other than I'm moving forward. You can see the stability here:

That's how you can tell which baits are swimmers.

$40 bottle of Sangiovese. Boo.

Small Tragedies...

They set up radar traps here, lol. 25 mph limit on the bays off Lake Ontario. Right now, due to high water, it's no wake 1000 ft. from shore.

No worries.

They're there. They're called steelhead.
