MSRP?

Get ready...

MSRP is $2949

Ouch
 

That's a steep price for a water bike.:eek:

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:

And 40 lbs

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:

2x

If it was carbon and kevlar then i want one too!

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.
