I'm hoping there's a retrofit for mine so I can get that new lawn chair!

Start stocking'em Andy! This reminds me of the days when every week someone was losing their mirage drives in the surf. Hopefully the chair is easier to find in the surf.

I am sure finding one in the surf should be no problem, somehow this one was lost in deep water.

It doesn't mention anything about the molded in Lowrance transducer mount. I'll be really disappointed if it doesn't have it.

you can see the wire cap for the Lowrance ready feature in the first photo above. Look under the mounting board. :D

Yup. If I were Hobie, I'd be very worried about pricing myself out of market share. I know they sell both the existing PA14 and the new PA12 as fast as they can make them, but bumping the price $500 may put an abrupt end to that happy scenario. Overflowing inventory won't make dealers happy.

I agree - 3 grand is now approaching high end carbon fiber touring kayaks. I would never consider a rotomolded anything to be of equal value to hand laid carbon and kevlar...




But I still want one. :cool:

At $3000, it better cook, clean, and strip for me too! That's just absurd for a plastic shell. At least throw the bait tank in, Hobie!

Maybe hobie is looking at getting into the loan buisness, I can see it now,
Bank of Hobie.
$3k is brutal for just a PA, add all the add ons and your now looking at close to $5k,so close yet so far away :doh:

I think they are rising the price in part of preventing the older models from losing too much value...the pa14 price been dropping like seagull dung. Saw a pa14 in maryland with a buy it now of 1400 craigslist had one for 1500 and 1700. To buy or not to buy is up to the consumer....the new ones have nice features as designated molded spots for fish finder and a 600 chair.
