Is it me or do a few things look different like handles and drive?

Hey OEX, can a 3 year old Tarpon 120 be modified to fit this seat?

octico 08-05-2014 01:56 PM

Will that fit on a Revo?

YakDout 08-05-2014 02:02 PM

Have you seen the new "bluefin" roller bearing mirage drive?

YakDout 08-05-2014 02:03 PM

That seat is going to be stock on almost every 2015 hobie

momo fish 08-05-2014 02:11 PM

No haven't. That looks like a revo in the picture.

Wow. Thanks for sharing !

Raul 08-05-2014 02:23 PM

Its sport but all the hobie models are going to have them

Wish they had the venturi scupper drain on my TI, im always sitting in a puddle

wiredantz 08-05-2014 03:55 PM

that is a pretty good mod.

CKallday71 08-05-2014 05:43 PM

Yo OEX when will you have these seats available for the Outback?

Makes me wanna downgrade next year from the PA14 to an outback since the seat looks a whole lot more comfortable now. Can't wait till they hit the store to test it out. GREAT JOB HOBIE! :you_rock:

Seat looks cool, plus the roller bearing drives and a skeg in the PAs.. The article says they had to change their molds so I doubt this will retrofit into older models.

Fancy!
 
If it fits the Revo, I may check it out...

Does this mean a $300-$500 price hike?

momo fish 08-05-2014 06:49 PM

The price for comfort. I'm hoping it's only 200 bump. If it's 500 that's brings the cost almost close to a PA 12
