Just saw the Hobie fishing Facebook page. It says "HUGE NEWS"
So it's more than just a color change. If they redesigned the outback or pro angler hull I am good with what I have. If they release a new model than can take a small outboard, but still have a mirage drive and accept the livewell........man it would be bad news for my wallet.

Anyway it might be a blessing in disguise. What if they release something that better meets your wants and needs.

Sometimes on the way back it takes me two hours at full pedal power. I would like to have a little 2.5hp or 5hp.
I considered the Solo skiff but it doesn't seem to be user friendly. Bait tank, seat, rigging, etc. If Hobie releases a new model with that option I would be the first to place an order. I live in an apt so no one tell me to get a boat lol Plus these little motors sip little gas. A 2.5hp can go all day on one gallon. I still have my Revo 16 with island outrigger. Maybe I'll add a Honda 2.5 I have laying around.

YakDout - yeah tons of good points. So do you have the 180 drive on your 2017?
We bought the 2015's because we had to have the new seats, and its been worth every penny...both my wife and I have enjoyed the new seats so much more. Really made the kayak for us. Last year I went to an HDS 7 Carbon with total scan and right now I just hang the transducer off the side, and it works, but I would like an under boat solution. I know there are some options out there to use the current Lowrance ready solution with total scan, but my problem is that I run a lot of rivers and taking a blow to the transducer area is completely plausible, so the guardian is a feature I really want. But yeah, when does it end...I buy this now, then over the next few years the transducers change, the Guardian is obsolete and something else comes out. |

New Outback
Ordered a new Outback today...
Lots of orders being put in for this new boat so as a "Team Boat" I'll probably get pushed back to November for delivery... Thanks Hobie...looking forward to this new hull and great looking design.
