Need an 08 Mirage Drive - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

StinkyMatt · 06-07-2010, 06:07 PM

Possible o8 revo plus about 250 for a drive. 850 - 900 total, sounds like a good deal , right? Anything I need to look for as far as the condition of the boat or drives? I read about the possible cracking in the area of the drive receiver, will look for that. Any other help from all you experienced guys would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt

On any Hobie Adventure or Outback made up to the year 2006 you must check the Drive Well area for any cracks.

Read my post with Pics of where to look, and which serial #'s were affected.

Check next to the cam lock knobs. Ive seen tiny cracks in pre 08's twice.....
Also check with Nate or Drew at OEX Oceanside......They've seen it all in regards to Hobies.....
If you can get a Revo with drive,seat, paddle in good condition for 8-900 thats a steal......
