Does anyone on the list own a Hobie Kayak? I just discovered today that Hobie Cat makes them now. They are sit on tops, about 12' long, with drainage away from the seat so your not sitting in a puddle... Aparrantly (sp?) they are very nice boats. Would be interested in hearing opinions on them, from the sit on top group here....

I've had a single seater Odyssey for 2 years... It's been a great boat for me here in the flat waters on the west coast of Florida. It tracks well & is lightweight (easy to Jeep top, although I did add a couple of carrying straps). I test paddled (rented quite extensively), the ScupperPro and Prism before deciding on the Hobie. The deciding factor was that I found that I could cruise as fast on the Hobie as the other 2, which where 2 feet longer, but much heavier. Recently though I have gotten the itch to go faster so I'm looking for a used surf ski in the 18' range... anyone know of any??

That's the *fun* of a sit-on-top.
