;D Picking it up the day of the Gympie Rally, Thanks for your advise Pete we are happy with our choice, Going to set up a side stand on the boat aswell so we can transport it out wide . Going to use my old lowrance on it maybe an overkilll , perhaps i should think about that one will post some picks . Phil we should tee up for the rally and go for a test run ?

Pete,
Got our Hobie couldnt be happier Mal from Sunstate Hobie was very helpfull and its good to hear we will see a store closer to Bris soon :) We took it for a quick dip after mucking around with the roof racks in the rain :)
My mate poped down from Hervey Bay to have a look and it appears he maybe looking at a purchase aswell.
After a quick dip in the lake we went home, Day 2 we had it in the noosa river and had a ball , my only issue at the moment is loading the bugger as my back has been giving me some hell for awhile , no issues once i am in the water. Any ideas on easy loading would be great . Oh yeh love the fact i can sneak up very close to wildlife in particular the fish , we sat on top of a flatty for awhile :)

Mick,

One lifting approach might be (on a grassy area):

(1) Turn it over with bottom facing upward
(2) Start lifting it up for the rear
(3) Dig the nose into the grass and walk your hands down to the middle of the yak then lift over yoyur head.

Thanks Mate will do, will be doing a solo run on Saturday if your around Bris ? will be launching from New Farm as its easy to take it from the gararge down

Gigantor has the right idea ..I lift mine like that or thewife will grab one end to steady it when i have it over my head. BUT..don't try that method on concrete..the bloody end on the deck will slide and next thing ya know you have a bloody cut on your head from where it came down on you..trust me..I know.
