RiverOtter
got any pics?
Since I'm kind of casually shopping for a kayak, what's RiverOtter's new one? What's nice about it?
It's equipped with a big block chevy and a jet drive

Just kidding. It's a Hobbie Kona that I bought from Jim at the rental place during his big end of season rental fleet sale

I have only one seaters that are made for riding the waves -- very manuverable. The Hobie Kona is a two seater, and the seat rests are very niceSince I'm kind of casually shopping for a kayak, what's RiverOtter's new one? What's nice about it?
. The boat holds a straight line and is fairly wide, making it very stable. It is a bit on the heavy side compared to mine, but it is no heavier than my canoe, so I can load it without assistance.That is the one and the same Jim.I'm disappointed. The first one sounds more fun, although not on Eastern Lake.
Would "Jim at the rental place" be Seagrove Icehouse? I wanted to get down there, but now it will be next weekend before I can - leaving for East TN tomorrow.
New outflow?? Got any pics![]()
Cool! I ordered, from a local shop, and got my Yakima Kayak rack.
OK, so I'm looking at Yakima's web site. Which rack are you getting?
The Hully Roller/Mako Saddle combo sure looks like it would make loading and unloading easy.
Did you get the Mighty Mounts to adapt to your roof rack?
Yup, I ordered the yakima Mightymounts with the Hully Rollers and mako Saddle. Proplem is the Mako Saddles don't work with the Mightymounts. Either that or they need another part to work. Both my trucks have the factory cross bars so I don't need the Yakima cross bars. As I was assembling the Mako Saddles the manuel said "does not work with Mighty Mounts and Factory crossbars"![]()
That's disappointing. I'm in much the same situation with an Outback that already has crossbars. Let us know how you solve that.
I'll let ya know
