2019 Hobie release manana
Questions will be answered! Will the newest drive have not only forward and reverse but have up down and sideways features? Will there be some color offerings changing? will there be a model discontinued? will there be a new model added? Will there be a total redesign of a model? Will prices go up? Stand by...........
EDIT.........and there you go! IMO this is the smartest kayak design I have seen, looking forward to fishing this one hard.

I wouldn't mind seeing new safety colors for the PA.
When I bought mine, the new color was Camo. It looks sick but I went with safety papaya....and even then I still worry when I'm out there by myself. Also, hopefully due to their patent expiring for the mirage drive their prices don't increase.

I have spied some really cool 2019 offerings at the warehouse when picking up my orders last couple trips.

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.

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.

My guesses: Powerskiff, 15', rotomolded, $8k Powerskiff, 17', rotomolded, $10k Powerskiff/Soloskiff type, 13', $6k Pro-Angler, Remodeled, $5k Outback, Remodeled, $3.5k New colors: Gunship grey, Rainbow/pride scheme for safety/visibility |
