Pedal drive for Raptor SOT?

Would we still be able to use our existing Raptor cart, bait well, and pump setup on this new model?

900 just for the hull or including the pedals?

I believe it only the hull.

What kind of drive will it work with?

+1 My daughter maybe interested.

Sign me up. In fact, I might want a second one, too.

Put me on the list!

sign me up!

   Yes !     

    There will be an adapter that will allow the Mirage drive to fit.    Eventually we'll have a second adapter for the Propel drive.    And,,, no it doesn't include the Mirage drive,  you'll have to shop that separately.   Sorry,  I tried asking Hobie for OEM opportunity... LOL   You can guess their answer.

Is the adapter included with the G2 or is it sold separate and if so how much will the adapter cost?

Will the rudder come standard or optional? I am assuming it'll be hand control for the hobie guys? I am very interested, but still too early to commit.

You're killing me. Now it only makes me want it more!!!! aaargh.. Now I need to have one!! It's so close to Christmas though. What's the deadline for you to recv your 900? Will paypal work or is it cash/check only?

Will it work with the old drive? Or only the new version?

    I tried posting response twice now...   both times they are not uploading.  WTF?    I give up.   Is the photo file too big?

   Both,   I just found out that the new version will work on all, just have to cut off that tab.

Will the rudder come standard or optional?

   The G2 is designed to perform as a paddle kayak  or Pedal.     So rather than rig everyone with a hand control & rudder, only when ordered with that.     Not everyone wants the pedal drive or the higher cost associated with adding a rudder.  The way the Raptor tracks, a rudder isn't needed for paddling.

Is the adapter included with the G2 or is it sold separate and if so how much will the adapter cost?

    Adapter sold separately ,, not set a price yet, as they've not gone into production.   Guesstimating around 70 -100  dollar mark, retail.   

   So, now that I've downsized some photo's.. let me try again.     What I wrote twice before ( got 86'd)  was a bit about the features.     There's an 8" hatch ring in front of the seat that will have a 12 x 16"   interior storage "pod"   ( all these pods get confusing..)   Shown is the Paddle Pod,,, the removeable heart of the G2 with  4 scuppers molded partially molded in each half.   It will get locked down with a cam lever latch .   Simple and quick.    This pod can be used to hold a battery, FF and transducer, or rig it as a live bait tank, or just store tackle.   The Pedal pod  will fit in that same hole..  there's two more additional scuppers on each side of the 8" hatch for a total of 6 to provide fast drainage during surf launches.    Notice the recessed tracks on each side.   I've altered the forward cockpit so that it's easy  to slide fishing rods into the hull from the bow hatch.   Getting back to the pedal pod,   The mirage drive will get locked in and stay in the pod.   You remove the entire pod as one unit.   The pod acts as a sort of "life ring" for your Mirage drive in case it gets dropped overboard.  There's a 600 dollar savings right there !      The untippable design of the Raptor will save you even more.   
 In the Cargo Bed, I've added a 6" access hatch in the floor  and two more 4" hatches just behind the seat .  There's now access to every part of the interior of this yak ,, ( for rigging. )
Transducer scuppers built in.. for alternate rigging...   
That's about all I have for now.

   

lookin' good!

So basically, you've taken all the latest cool innovations on the scene, kayak fishermans' kayak design wishlists, and combined them into a super stable, razor tracking, fast paddling,  rough surf survivng, not-too heavy, hands free optional, ultimate fishing kayak?

I'm sorry, but theres no way... for me to skip this.
