New vantage seat for hobie kayaks

[momo fish]

Curious about the scupper holes that self suck water out when peddling at least 3 mph according to videos.

Since most surf launch take on water will drainage be an issue?

I'm assuming that the new Hobies are using a sort of Venturi Effect for some of the scuppers. Assuming that the channels on the underside of the Kayak create a high pressure and then when you open the valves the pressure drops and scavenges the water from the deck area?

Noticed it has 2 idle pulleys! Hope that makes the cables last longer

Not all models will come with that added idler pulley

Outback...............answers here.

3 different Vantage model seats, one for the PA 17, 1 for the PA 12 and 14 and 1 for all the rest from Sport to the Revo 16, all these seats are in the same position relative to the water as the original back rest, so you do not sacrifice stability for comfort and only raise it when and where wanted.
