Looks good Deefa, I tried something similar with a folding blue line boat seat on my old outback (pre vantage seat) a few years ago but it raised the seat height too much and created less stability. Also the old buckle/straps snapped 3rd time I used it, the seat fell/rocked backward the yak capsize...

Oh, and the tiller just misses the chair frame at full starboard, and is a comfortable position..

On the older AI's there's a black plastic knob on the vertical face behind the seat. For my boat seat mount I attached a loop of chord/rope to the seat that's just long enough to loop over the knob and hold the rear down. Then attach the front straps and tighten. If the TI has this you can do simil...

Looks good... I hope it works good! Where did you get the seat from? pickup, from some random ebay seller with a warehouse in clayton, I've had it for a while... Will it fit in both the front and rear seat-wells on the T.I.? The seat won't be held in position nicely in the back, I would have to thi...

I struggled for a while on the water to get it re-inserted, as I had tramps and a haka hold...

I decided during Friday I wanted a bait tube for Cape Woolamai, as I'll hopefully pick up a few squid on the way out, and possibly find some bait around. Disclaimer: I'm a hack. 90mm stormwater PVC 1m 1 flat end cap. A few cable ties Tools: marker, ruler, hacksaw, cordless drill 3.5mm & 9mm bits...

Hobie still do twist and stow rudders? I really should keep up with the 'lesser' models...

Nice setup.

Hobie AI, cooper red + 1.2m+ 6mm chain. Only time it has slipped was when i pulled the point into and locked onto a scollap shell. I use 5x depth rope.

Sorry to be alittle late but also Model aircraft 3S lipo batteries are great, lightweight & usually sealed. If have an appropriate charger grab a 4000mah 3S battery. Powers a fishfinder all day no issues. I got a tupperware type container put wires from fishfinder in and sealed the holes just i...
