New Hobie "Pro Angler"

Once over of the Pro Angler by the boyz @ OEX Oceanside.

OK, that is def. a freshwater bass or delta boat.  Some really neat features, they put some thought into this new generation of boat.  I'd say its a pretty big leap

"Big" is the word...

 But I still want to take a closer look at it....

Really cool features that some others co's will steal. What's it retail for? I'm guessing $1,500 no wait $1,700

at 38 inches wide that sucker will be slow if you have to paddle it.  I tlooks like it was made for the NASCAR crowd.  Man that thing is a carrier!

Dude 138lbs loaded!!!!!

more like 2200..

Thanks for the video Zee.  While I don't see this being a big hit with experienced yak guys, I do see it having great appeal to the fat bastard looking to ditch his glitter drenched bass boat.

Lots of very innovative ideas, I would love to see them on something more svelte.

Jim, I thought that's what Naoaki and Levi were for.

i am glad hobie is doing r and d for kayak fishing, they are trying hard.  i like the grab handles and the bow beer cooler !  however it is much too heavy to carry over some rocks or drag/roll down the beach.

I also like the little drag protection on the stern. Cool Idea would like to see that in OK's on the bow as well

Bic has a better idea...they put a roller blade wheel back there years ago.

At what point does a kayak become a boat?????

Good point, until I see some one paddle this with a double bladed paddle it isn't a kayak.  It's still a cool looking peddle powered fishing platform.

At 4:58 into it when he was talking about storage in the back did he actually mention storing bales of coke?????
This might be a big hit in Miami.

There you go. FYI Pedal.
