Hello all,

I'm currently looking to upgrade my kayak from a perception angler 10.5. Sit-in to a Hobie mirage outback. I found a like new 2012 used once model. They are asking $900. I'm no expert on prices of used kayaks so is that a good price for that model? Thanks in advance

If that kayak is not all to pieces, that is a good price.  It won't have a lot of the really good upgrades they've had over the years (including reverse), but it's still a good deal.  Unless that one's been sitting for most of the time, it could have a lot of wear on it.  Check it out good; if you can take it on the water.

Yeah it appears it was purchased for duck hunting..was on the water for about an hour and then hasn't been used since. Said approx 4 years old but it has the older style seat so im guessing its a 2014 or 2013 and their guesstimation of age is off. Looks practically new. I don't think i can find a pedal drive system or better quality Kayak for cheaper at the moment. 

You can make an ascend seat work on those hulls.  I did it to a 2010 and it made for a jam up boat. 

Assuming it comes with the mirage drive and the condition is like new its a good price.  I've seen some around the same age but in decent condition go for around that price.

 

As mentioned above, if you can, test drive it to see no leaks and functions normally
