The "hobie brand cart" thing Sounds like a BS excuse by hobie to sell overpriced carts and/or trying to get out of warranty claims. ​ @Phrosty420 A "C-Tug" style cart shouldn't cause issues. Though real problem here is the quality control on those "inserts" hobie used for the scuppers, so its more so a hull issue rather then the cart.

​@@miclam00 They will ask you in general what cart you used during a warranty claim. Of course you could lie, but someone not knowing any better might say they had a offbrand. That or the dealer might ask to see the cart. Not that it being offbrand had any effect on the actual failure, a 1 inch pipe is a 1 inch pipe.

Foldable kayak?? Made in South Carolina. Not affiliated or anything. Great video guys always learn something new and appreciate it.

Great to see you two fishing together. I always enjoy comradery and collaboration when I go fishing with someone. It definitely makes the trip memorable when something crazy happens.

That was some great fishing! No tournament pressure just enjoying life! Stressed me out to see that video title waking up at 5:15 on Sunday morning, glad you are okay.

Use a C-tug, those cart always damage the holes where it goes in. The more gear on your kayak the more pressure on the seams.

John is awesome and a Blessing! Good in Hobie to warranty ya. I was told in 2005 with my first sit on top to never use a scupper hole cart. For that reason. It was a wilderness systems tarpon 100 and 120 I got for me and my son. Mostly I fish out of my s9lor canoe anyway... but I still haven't used a scupper hole cart in all these years with 6--8 air in top kayaks so far. (Cant find one I like enough to keep over my solo canoe, lol. .love your channel and hope you have a ball with the F12!

Great to see you two enjoying some great creek fishing together. My son & I enjoy both of your channels! That F12 will serve you well 👍🏼

Yup, I know the feeling of sinking. Thankfully I was within 70 yards of launch with my 3 waters kayak when I started to sink, in a shallow creek. I love the stability of pontoon style yaks, but the manufacturers really need to address the instability of when they take on water. Great vid none the less!

Yikes!! A hole in a yak is never fun! Glad ya made it back with out sinking. My Ascend 12T “Arm Exhauster” is currently parked until I get the stern patched up…won’t be 10 weeks but it’s still gonna be a while.

John is the man. Dude literally goes anywhere to fish with anyone, dude just loves fishing

Already a big fan of Creek Fishing Adventures, and John makes really fun and interesting videos. Great to finally see a collab, and all the f*ckery that ensues!

Ugh, that blows. I am surprised you didn’t use the NuCanoe instead of the PA in the creek. Luckily it happened in the creek and not in the middle of a larger lake and during a tourney 😬

Dang what a pain in the butt! I've heard something about where the wheels go in on the Hobies, but I wasn't sure exactly what it was. 10 weeks yeesh.

This is why I keep a pack of water weld (plastic weld/patch) and a manual pump with at all times.

Why I use boonedox - and Hobie doesn't like them, but my Pro 14 is a 2015 version so... I am old and hoisting it up to insert wheels up those holes doesn't cut it anymore. Glad they stood behind yours and you got it replaced.. Awesome fish!

If you liked that spotted, you should hit a creek or two in Alabama. There’s a couple of stretches here that can, and have produced 10’s of 3-4lb spot. A few line breaks as well. Imo, the best spot fishing in the country.

Get a Hobie Itrek. Don’t be afraid of an inflatable. They are tough and if it does get a hole you can patch it in less than a minute and your day goes on. I drag mine over rocks, dirt roads and even concrete. Best river boat I’ve ever owned. Best kayak I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned over 40.

between that issue and the drive tearing up. seen it on a few here locally. lol my neighbor had the same thing happen, but he sunk in the creek behind the house. bad part i had to go get my dive gear and a floatation bag because he sank in a curve and it was 43 ft deep. so i hopped on my sundolphin 12ss and started scanning with the garmin and i found it. in 38 ft of water. gets better , wrapped up in a tree. not really a safe one man dive with 8'' vis. so off into the muddy gator infested creek i go. knowing the cheapest thing i have with me is my $500 kayak and my dive knife. so i have my neighbor get in my kayak and i tie a rope to his and struggle to get it out of tree with the current. 3 attempts with him paddling up stream to help dislodge his yak . it free and fubared. when it hit the tree under water it poked a huge hole in it. and of course hobie would not honor his warranty. guess he's not a yt guy. fyi 2nd time that yak was in the water. DO NOT USE HOBIE CART IF YOU PULL IT around. he pulled his yak 80 ft twice across his yard to the creek and the bs cart tube failed???? $5600???? not to mention all he lost to boot.. then zero warranty coverage because it sank and the current impaled his yak on a tree?? he said hobie denied replacement due to other damage?? ahh it was brand new and the hole was caused by it sinking . they laugh at my sundolphin , best thing is the seat. but id rather lose 500 than over 7000, not like i could look for things in the bottom of creek with 8'' vis.. but i do know one guy is on his 5th drive unit. hopefully they have fixed that too.

That looks like a blast dude!!!

That Nu Canoe kayak will be a great river/creek boat.

I have a cart like that as well ( not a Hobie ) and after reading several reviews of that style, they are not good for the scupper holes. All the beating and banging they do along with the pressure they apply on the sides it's best to not use that style of cart unless you are on pavement where it is completely smooth.

My husband and I are unfortunately stuck till late August or Sept too. His PA cracked around bottom of where the seat legs go in. Happened on his birthday on parksville early June. Weird thing was it was fine when it came off the trailer and he stood one time in it the whole day and we got out and swam afterward and it was fine after that. So we have no idea how or why it cracked with him just sitting. But we are waiting on a new hull too. At least hobie warranties like they do. Great video though and what an amazing fish!

11:45 “I’m sinking” I thought hobie was made to take a scupper cart. Jackson folks told me to not use scuppers for anything that loads with weight. So, no carts, straps, stake out poles, etc… I did it with my wilderness and ocean kayak for years, but they were much lighter boats. Did warranty cover it? Seems like a skilled plastic welder could fix it. Maybe they would let you do it as a temp repair? Big fan on John! He keeps it simple and flat catches fish!
