Looks sweet!

A dealer by my house told me it was 20lbs lighter and no price increase same as big pro angler

Happy April 15th.

Less raw material but more features even the price out to be the same as the original Pro Angler.

this shows the transducer cover. There is a recess so your trans is in the water with this cover protecting it.

No holes to drill with running your FF wiring. One acess here and one under each side board.

Far and away the seat is the biggest new feature. Lighter more comfortable and tons of adjustment from reclining to raising to flipping back and leaning against when standing

tackle management and the new rectangular hatch. When opened the 2 trays actually raise up and out for easier removal.

We were introduced to the PA at the International Dealers meeting last month. Orders were place by all the dealers. Initial shipments are 2 per dealership with followup orders placed. When can you get one? June 1st.........maybe sooner.

when will you have a demo available?

Dealer confidence in this model is so high that production is already sold out into July.

I have 8 on order and if they do not all get snatched up with pre orders, I will gladly make one available to demo.

Andy
I see 2 pulleys? one on each side of the kayak
the cord for raising the rudder?
is there one for up and one for down on the PA now?

or what is the new one for?


seat looks great
like the center hatch
transducer ready is nice
and the molded in rear rod holders look like they are better positioned? angling out from the boat?

hope you sell thousands of them!

That's a lot of Kayak to peddle around. I think I'll stick with my OK Prowler.

Bummer....

Yep still want the OG

Gotta have it.

surprised that nobody spotted the fleet in Mission Bay in March.

what was you expecting? a lot of nice features. smaller, lighter. theres only so much you can shave when you go this size and features.

Don,

I see one photo with an up and a down pull cord (prototype), but not what we saw, should be the same as on the PA 14. no second up/down control on this one.

I noticed the seat is much higher than the larger PA.
The advantage is more torque power. This is going to be a fun ride!!!!

Andy....what model yak (dune color) is that in the background of the last photo?

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...9/IMG_0269.jpg

That white kayak in the background is a class fiberglass version of the Hobie Mirage - the first Miragedrive kayaks produced. It's one of about 70 that were made.

Pretty sick boat! Only issue I see is getting in and out of that new chair in the surf. Looks like the seat will have to be in the extra vantage position to get the armrests as much out of the way as possible.

Can't wait until they roll all of those improvements into the PA 14.
