Ouch
That's a steep price for a water bike.

Yup. If I were Hobie, I'd be very worried about pricing myself out of market share. I know they sell both the existing PA14 and the new PA12 as fast as they can make them, but bumping the price $500 may put an abrupt end to that happy scenario. Overflowing inventory won't make dealers happy.

I agree - 3 grand is now approaching high end carbon fiber touring kayaks. I would never consider a rotomolded anything to be of equal value to hand laid carbon and kevlar...
But I still want one.

Maybe hobie is looking at getting into the loan buisness, I can see it now, Bank of Hobie. $3k is brutal for just a PA, add all the add ons and your now looking at close to $5k,so close yet so far away
