I loved my ok manta and if I had the coin to fork over, then that 4.7 would be mine. Really impressive how much thought that was put into the design and features that that thing offers. my next statement may get me lynched by this community, but my opinion is that hobies are not truely kayaks but more peddleboats, just look at hobies new tandem model below
