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, 02:56 PM

Will that fit on a Revo?

YakDout · 08-05-2014, 03:02 PM

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

YakDout · 08-05-2014, 03:03 PM

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

momo fish · 08-05-2014, 03:11 PM

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

Wow. Thanks for sharing !

Raul · 08-05-2014, 03:23 PM

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

crazywakeboarder · 08-05-2014, 04:43 PM

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

wiredantz · 08-05-2014, 04:55 PM

that is a pretty good mod.

CKallday71 · 08-05-2014, 06:43 PM

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

Rambo · 08-05-2014, 06:53 PM

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!

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.

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

Ok you science guys, whats the deal with a skeg ?

Do tell........

momo fish · 08-05-2014, 07:49 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

I'm hearing a $300 bump. That seat is outrageously trick, plus there's the new model Mirage Drive.

No backwards compatibility that I'm aware of at this time.

Backwards travel is not a problem, what would I otherwise do with my $400+ Werner paddle? LOL!
