The Compass has the same price tag as 2018, they have added a sail mast receptacle and have made a deeper side handles as well as adding papaya for this price of $1949 as well. The Compass will also be offered in Camo with the non-ARC MD180 Drive with Turbo Fins for $2299.

hoping to pick up my first 2019s day after Labor Day Sept 4th........unless they allow me to pick up this coming week.

Already sold a couple outbacks sight unseen!

I'm so stoked on the new Outback but my god in heaven, I must have completely forgotten how expensive Hobies are cause the sticker shock is REAL.

How does the $2,799 price and 85 pound weight compare to the previous model?

Any photos of the added keel?

Here it is, IMO this change is HUGE with the rudder tucked under. They also include this loading device to keep the hull from sliding and scratching as you load it
