The hobie cup holders are conveniently molded so that the hobie branded bottles have an exact fit  :smt011

my jackson kayak nalgene fits perfect in my outback  :smt110

my ultra 4.3 had no holders and i knocked over so many beers.  had to purchase a scotty cup holder.
  If you weren't so drunk you wouldn't spill so many beers... !    :smt002

Just hook a camel pack to the seat back, fill with an 8 pack o beer and your golden.

I put a 3 liter camelbak in the hull and run the tube to the topside using a Hobie thru-hull thingy. Works great, and keeps the weight below deck. But, it's only water for me---if it was beer, there would be way too much "golden" going on...

That's an awesome idea. Did you run the tube through one of the rubber grommets? I have some left over ones from me ff install and might be making this mod.

Yes, the tube fits the largest gommet that comes with the Hobie kit. I run the tube up behind the back of the seat... very convenient.

Im surprised Hobie didn't come up with some origami shaped bottle and molded in holder that can only be used as a set at an additional charge to the consumer.

Don't give them any ideas...

Seems like most kayaks have built-in cup holders. If not, just get a foam beer coozie and some velcro!

Yep, this is what first came to mind  :smt003....
Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.

I think that cup holder exceeds your kayak's carrying capacity.
