Just You Tubed native slayer propel vs Hobie mirage. I wouldn't give up the efficiency to go backwards.

The one video where they tied the two sterns together and had them both start to pedal was pretty telling when the mirage started to tow the propel backwards. It also has a lot to do with the leg strength and fitness level of each kayaker involved. But all in all I'm still impressed with the propel drive and would love to test one out. If they have an option to upgrade the prop like we do with the turbo fins on the mirage drive that may go along way to evening things up between the two.

They both are pretty nice . I can maintain a speed with th e propel a lot longer but starting out and max speed the mirage was faster for me. Maintence is what it came down to for me the mirage drive is a lot easier to fix .
They used to have two prop options but now I belive they all come with the better prop. I did a review on it a couple years back . They both have their pros and cons . |

That review was pretty cool man! that was some good intel. i did a little more research and saw that the Mariner Angler does comes with a lot of fishing accessories, while the Outback does'nt. still i figuered that with fish finder and live well added and pimped out for fishing, both will run me around $3,000. Maybe a little more with the Outback. Still, it all comes down to taking them out for a spin. Thanks to all. And i'll keep ya'll informed on my decision. |

One other thing to consider is that the propel has an enclosed system and the Hobie is not enclosed.
