word is it will only cost you $4600 to get the compatible boat.

That's pretty cool. 

I like it!  I'll never be able to afford it, but I like it.  Now, if Hobie could just figger a way to loose some of it's pork.  My PA is heavy and not getting any lighter as I age....
(much like me I'm afraid)

Yeah Very cool!!! I wanna try it!
I've already seen people starting to sell 2019 Outback...crazy...

More details: 

That it automatically kicks up when it hits something is cool, and the 360 rotation is amazing. But it looks like it can only be a PA thing, as it could easily tip you over on a normal kayak.

I bet they'll come up with a modified version for their other kayaks, where the lever turns it either forward or backwards, with no sideways thrust option. It seems to me that that would be a major improvement over the 180 drive.

Ok I can see where this might come in handy you know at bouy 10 combat fishing when you need to parallel park between fishing sleds instead of double parking or your coming into the dock to land, I have seen the cruise ships use bow and stern thrusters at the docks in Warrenton makes it easier to move craft the size of war ships  > that’s why there putting it in the PA floating dock.

Parallel parking? This is more like a perpendicular parking option...

I am very interested in that, and the new coloration of the pa12 that goes with it, but I see that thing having issues with durability, considering the rotation and gear meshing etc.  After 6-12months of others testing it out, maybe I will pull the trigger on it.

TLW needs that! Last time she tried to parallel park my F350 crew cab in front of our old house, my bronco and F350 felt the pain!..  ... Don’t ask, 2 doors and the fiberglass fender on the dually and one brush guard and fender on the Bronco.  she refuses to drive the dually even now at 15 years later.
