Hobie kayaks...say what!?

RIP Hobie Alter

I've read about most of these cons before but it's nice to see them all in one place. There's a few new ones I've not heard mentioned before like the zig-zag steering, inconvenient armrests, weak/flexible trolling rod mount, and poor access to clear bait tank intake clogs. I was most surprised to hear about the soft bottom problems of the yak. I know about reversing the drive but to me that is a very poor solution to the reverse problem. This info definitely helps when deciding whether to drop all that cash.
