Well I just don't think I can resist anymore. My wife and I have two 2009 Hobie Outbacks and we absolutely love them. If there is one weak link though, its the seats as my wife gets uncomfortable pretty fast in it. I can make it work all day, but it can get annoying.

These new vantage seats on the 2015's look like complete game changers to me. Plus the modifications for standing seem really nice too..I find trying to stand in my current model is an exercise in getting wet. I think as soon as my local dealer has one in that we can at least sit on and make sure its everything we want it to be we will get the ball rolling.

Now...what can I get for two 2009 Mirage Outbacks??? Hmmm...one nicely rigged for fishing and the other nice and stock for the misses. I hear they fly out of driveways when for sale, but I don't want to be unrealistic. $2500 for both seems to be the number I keep going to but that might be a bit high. Much harder to find for sale around where I live than coastal areas I think.
