I purchased the Hobie i11s in early 2016, and used it as my main fishing kayak for over 2 seasons. Here is a quick setup video on various mods and tips/tricks I've incorporated over the course of 2 years, in case any of you are thinking about buying one!

This is not a review video per se, but my general thoughts on the i11s are: 1) it's an inflatable kayak, you should never forget that you're floating on thin PVC pontoons filled with air, and 2) it is an amazing fishing platform, sitting high and (mostly) dry on a flat deck, zero sense of restriction compared to sitting in a more traditional SOT kayak, and finally 3) it is not a fast kayak in chop, you will not cut through the waves since you're riding a flat board, and you will feel this keenly if you plan on doing a lot of trolling (I do not).
