Here is another smoking deal in San Diego. A Hobie 14 for 200 bucks. No tramp and no trailer thou.

It looks comfy and the price is right. Do the forums a favor and buy it and give it a good review. I like harnesses that don't ride your crotch, the...

I think you should buy a used cat. If you want to cruise with 4 people you will need at least an 18 footer, 14 or 16 would be crazy if you always had ...
