Hobie Mirage ST Turbo Fins $50

Just my $0.02...

1) Not "Typically sold for $60 EACH fin" as the ad says. Amazon has ST fins for $47 each.

2) It's misleading to call them "ST Turbo" fins, since "ST" and "Turbo" are 2 different things. ST is midway between the puny fins that come with the kayak and Turbo.
 
3) Does anybody actually use ST fins? I've tried them, and I can't see any possible advantage of ST over Turbo. So, if you are going to upgrade, I'd say that Turbo is the way to go. You can get knock-off Turbo fins for about $80 on Amazon (the real deal list of $63 each). I have not tried the cheaper version, but I have gotten Mirage drive chains sold by the same company (located in Singapore), and they were of excellent quality.

Someone bought turbo fins and thought they could sell their old fins to recoup the cost.  Good luck buddy.

I see tandem users often only upgrade one of the mirage drives only.

I would buy it if I need a replacement since they're most available for that reason you mention.

Pretty much most people throw them away unless they are hoarders.  Anyone want 3 sets of ST fins?

There are lots of complaints on the Hobie forum about the Turbo fins not being the default, since that's what everybody ends up with. It's a way for Hobie to squeeze a little more money out customers which, given how pricey their boats are to begin with, is a bit annoying...
