You have to make the best decision for you, once you are fit and confident you will be back on the water. Good luck. :thumbsup:

Best of luck Mick.
Good to see you considered your safety & put your family first.
Good luck with the sale & your goal.
I found when looking for a second hand Kayak that Hobie hold their value well so you should get a reasonable price for your PA when you sell
Hope to see you out on the water safely enjoying time with the family in your new TI in the not too distant future.

30kg...wow, your obviously doing something right, I need to loose a bit around the gut but getting motivated in cold weather is hard.

Congratulations. 30Kg is absolutely brilliant. That must have taken an enormous amount of willpower and hard work. Great effort.

30kg is an awesome effort, great work!
Imagine what will happen when you add kayak fishing (and the equivalent of free weights from moving around a PA) to your routine too! ;)
