I like that its pretty much un sink able. Like a boston whaler. Little safer than a canoe or inflatable.

The video is cool, but they didn't show how it does on a choppy sea. Would it still be stable at those speeds?
Other then that it would be cool to have a longer range. I could see the value in that. Heck, on a good day you might get out to the Coronado's, definitely reach any offshore tuna.

Yes we are going to be rigging up the Solo Skiff we have and bringing it to the shows. This is a unique kayak and has limitless rigging options. Unfortunately we will not be able to do any demo's until after the shows. Currently we are taking orders and they will be available in both OEX locations and come in 3 colors. Check it out here as well!

Exactly - this!!
When I get mine I want Bob to get busy with his drone! For all those who are serious about getting one, there is a great Solo Skiff Owners Group on Facebook. Lots of good info on motor recommendations, rigging and general use. I had read early reviews stating that the 3.5 HP Tohatsu is adequate and the way to go, but this group has convinced me that for a lard butt like me a 5 or even a 6 is the way to go. ![]() Last edited by Baja_Traveler; 02-15-2017 at 04:33 PM. |

So who is going to be the FIRST to do a Greg Andrews roll in one of these at Leo? SDROB, that thing should outrun a GW so you would be good to go.
I found a Gregor 14 with almost new 20 Honda ready for Baja, Should be there in April. Thanks guys.

If you're going to use an outboard you might as well go with that...
