Hobie Pro Angler HB 997 side imager home made "custom" tailer 1/2 acre of lights (give or take) way too many cameras for an ugly dude
Adding it all up could cause a heart attack, so I'll just guess it is worth every penny I spend,,, at least to me and my cardiologist.
Most of my 50+ paddling/fishing years have included a single small pirogue, batteau or canoe and just a single light rod for most all purposes. I guess I seldom had $200 in my arsenol with me at any one time and I don't seem to remember anything ever but smiles when I thnink of my simpler days fishing.
Bought a 2011 hobie pro angler used but in great shape with everything but the kitchen sink included for $1,800 and sold my 2010 pro angler with everything included for $1,800
2011 native ultimate, 2007 malibu xfactor, 2002 WS ride, a 9' cheapo boat, a canoe, and more equipment than will fit in my kayak trailer. I would wager $9-11k. If you throw in fishing stuff in the past 10 years, that is another $2-3k.
If we throw in cameras, hiking and camping stuff, It gets really bad.
