This is the (temp) new ride. I think I will get an Ivory one in within a couple of weeks.

Talk about spoiled ! The Pro Angler will do it quick.
I am thinking about putting a pool table or a hot tub in the tank well.
I don't know if I can let go of the Outback yet. They are VERY different boats.

how do u carry that pro angler

hobie outback

Manitou 13
12' 10" Long
24.75" wide
45 lbs

No rigging required. Just paddle, cast, crank, and repeat.

It will slide in the back of my F-150 with the tailgate down and a red rag. I made my first trip like that with the bow out. With the live well holding fish, ice chests full and deer feeder batteries mounted, it is not much fun to lift that high.

I will be leaving it on a trailer that I am fitting to it. Since I can leave my rods below deck etc. I can leave it ready to go and can hook it up and run as fast as I can load my outback.
I have another trailer with a top rack on it for the outback + one more for guests.

The pro is far better than I ever imagined, but to say it is heavy when loaded is a mild understatement. It turns in it's own length and rides totally dry.
I'll have it at the tournament/crawfish boil/gathering at Trophy Club on the 9th if anyone wants a ride. I'll be busy schilling the civilians and Mariner will have several demo boats there.

Well I think its complete.. cant imagine any other ridiculous rigging i might need. Let me know what you think

sideshot: anchor trolley w/ clam cleat



This is where my flounder lights plug in



This is the cockpit, just added some side pockets, 5x switches. 1 for FF, 1 for overhead light, 1 for the front flounder light connections, 1 for the 12v acc port (cig lighter) which is quite handy for charging cellphones). The last switch is a battery selector switch (by the ffmount), lets me run off my 12v 7ah or a bigger deep cycle battery (foundering).



rear end, 4x flushmount + gps receiver, removable, extendable 360 degree light, hexagon plug is the connection for the deep cycle battery

Brian, that is about as slick as I have seen. Cool rig !!!

Nice job Brian!

I need some better pics..

This was my Malibu Extreme that I sold yesterday



My XFactor that I sold last week



My 09 Ride that I bought last week and have just started rigging.
I will post pictures of my 09 Malibu Stealth when it comes in. Can't wait to get it.

A few pics of my ride.



Note the Paddle keeper button on the inner rail. Totally out of the way. I don't like things I can bang my hands into while paddling.



Kayak on a Cart



5 rod holder behind seat, Note the Motorcycle/ATV cargo net. Better than lacing.



28 Qrt Cooler installed.



Anchor setup can be deployed off of either end (no trolley required).




New 5 Gallon Frabill style Bait Bucket




Working well. Shad healthy after 6 hours.
