  1. Hi Rob, I have had a 9 foot hobie for a couple years now. The "Sport" model, 48 lbs hull weight. I use it mostly on lake michian. I LOVE it, for all the reasons Travis lists. Pop it on the roof, throw the rods in the car, and I'm good to go. Mine is sit on top (I don't have to worry about waves much) and with the Hobie mirage drive my hands are free to fish with, which is great. For river use if you were on a smaller, faster river it might not be so good, it has a large turning radius and doesn't back up easily... and so you might want to use the paddle instead of the mirage drive. For larger water it's ideal however. I'm 5-10 and 170 lbs, if I were any taller I would have gone with the larger and heavier Outback model. Gerry
