Hobie Mirage 180 Turbo Fins
The upgrade Turbo fin kit has finally been released $129, only compatible with the 180 drive. All 2017 models had stock ST drives except the Camo Outback and the PAs. I also have the complete 180 Turbo fin drives in stock for $819

Awesome, was wondering when these would be available!
I wonder how much my dealer would give me for two 2015 mirage drives as trade in?? Would like to walk in with some cash and the two drives and come out with two new 180 turbos. I suppose I could just sell them too. I really want to try backpedaling in a river I know parked out over a nice hole. There really is no way to anchor over it but I figure this might be a good way to stay in position and its not much different than paddle trolling which I do for lengths of time at once. |

Zowee though... they sure are proud of the 180 drive! I can just about buy an outboard motor for that...
Would be a substantial upgrade to my standard drive in my PA though... |

How much longer are the turbos than the standard set?

Being someone impressed by Hobie inovations but remaining a kayak purist I can tell you that I saw a perfect application for these 180 drives late last year in the mangroves at Campo Rene near Abreojos. I was fishing with a friend who had a new PA 14 with the 180 drive and he was able to stick his nose in these mangrove channels and back himself out with ease. Quite impressive actually.
