    So, im looking to sell my kayak project, After alot of research I bought the hull with intentions on turning it into a pedal powered kayak like the Hobie kayaks with the mirage pedal fins. I chose the Hobie fins because you can easily pedal cruising as fast as a trolling motor and faster if needed without worring about how long a battery will last, not to mention you can flutter kick them in 3" of water for really shallow areas. This was a SUNFISH sailboat boat and is just under 14' long, its wide at 4 foot and very stable, will float in about than 3'' of water. less than 75lbs as it sits now and a perfect platform for what I had planned. Its fully gutted and all the dirty work is done, ready for the finishing fiber glassing the way you want it. I already started building the mirage drive well for it but needs to be finished and cleaned up. Comes with rub rail, a custom made (HDPE) plastic rudder with stainless bolts and a little bit of fiber glassing material and example core materials I have left over to get you started. I already patched and filled any holes for a new layout for tidowns cleats and whatever else and patched holes that had stress cracks and other issues so all you need to do is add a floor and fill any low areas + put whatever else you want in it. It comes with brand new never used except for mock up, 2015 Hobie mirage drive GTT version with glide technology and the turbo bluefins, (fastest and most efficient to date) they cost 610$ plus shipping. My intentions were to make this a rot free boat, using all materials that will not rust or rot, like plastic HDPE and stainless, floor was going to be a composite material so it would never have to be replaced if it ever got wet. I have over 1000$ into it. It comes with a pvc dolly trailer I made out of schedule 80 pvc to move it around. I will not sell it if i cant get around my asking price, so don't bother inquiring and wasting our time, I will finish it eventually if i cant sell it. call or text 732664300six Thanks (732) Jersey number aSKING 850$

    Will sell Mirage drive separate for 600$ boat for 250$

    Here are some videos of mirage drives in other boats other than kayaks, to show you that this will work because alot of people are skeptical. Do some research if you need And thanks for looking.
