I have not. They look neat but I don't think that propeller can produce the same amount of output as the mirage drive.

it's also a sit inside, lots of room for water....be great for lakes, specially the lakes down south that don't allow sots

Looks like a canoe trying to be a Hobie.

I liked the natural 'pedalling-on-a-bike' feeling that reminded me of cycling on dry land; but to be honest, I didn't like doing so on my back at such a low angle. Then again, that's the same reason why I don't like the Hobie pedals. I'm a paddle control freak that likes to sit upright and avoid juggling my gonads in that fashion. I would advise you to take a pass on the Ultimate pedal models, as the yak is akin to a canoe, and therefore, like a sit-in. The Mariner models are more similar to the SOTs that we use out here on the West Coast. If it's a inside connection. you should ask to borrow it for a weekend and take it out to your favorite waters. There's no substitution for personal use. Good Luck!

OEX Mission Bay has a demo of the Mariner Propel 12. Brent and I Peddled it the day we got it, was surprised at how well it worked and yes, it has reverse.

We will be stocking a full line of Natives for 2013. They really are cool little boats.
