I bought 2 x older Adventure Islands about a year or so back (2009 models) but I'm just not getting the usage out of both of them that I'd hoped for. Mostly I lug both of them around and end up using just the one.

I'm considering offering both in a trade for a Tandem island of about the same vintage.

In general terms, what do you people think? Would that be considered a fair trade? Or wildly imbalanced in favour of one side or the other?

Determining whether trading two older Adventure Islands for a Tandem Island of similar vintage is a fair trade can depend on various factors including the condition of the boats, market demand, location, and personal preferences.

Well obviously.

I didn't think it needed to be said - but in very broad terms, assuming conditions are roughly equal, is this a fair trade?

Or is it just a case of "hang it out there and see"?

I thought the singles were roughly $1000 less than the tandems. Not that much less considering the price they were new. So no, numbers wise. Sell them both and use the money towards a new tandem. Isn't the single harder to get these days? :D

Good advice. I may try that. It may be simpler in the long run anyway to just sell them - then I can get what I want even if it means paying a bit more.
