New Hobie Seats?

I have three layers on my old seat and it is ok.  I want to try the new seat however to see if I can completely eleminated the
hobie on ass bone dilemma.

I should get mine shortly after release if u guys wanna do a san luis or forebay hook up ill let yall test drive it

I'd go orange in an AI

The new seats look good. It looks like the new drive drums might be able to be retrofitted to older drives. They just redid the spine last year so I'm sure it's the same one with new drums. Keep in mind the price will go up with the new seats. Don't know yet but I'm sure they will be over 2k

it's interesting to see all the excitement on upgraded seats. i too am excited but only because i know people will be selling their "OLD" outback to upgrade to these. i see great deals on the horizon. =)

Yeah, I like the orange boats too - they really stand out on the salt.

I'm curious if the extra height has a negligible affect or not on the distance to the rudder control.

Awwww....crap...there goes 3G.

Look for a Red 2012 AI hull with 2008 crossbars (the cool old style), a new mirage drive, and a host of other little upgrades up for sale later in the year...

Is the new seat gonna work on a 2008 Revo?
Bring it to the PIF event in Monterey on 8/17  :-0

So according to this article, the new Vantage CT seat in "low" position puts you at the same overall height as the old seat (middle of page):

Note note: damn that Outback is decked out!

did they fix those stupid twist and seal hatches yet? my 2014 is really leaky and i've tried everything to fix the damn gasket

Im anxious as hell waiting on my outback. Looks so sick!!!!

I'm glad they finally made the upgrade, but I'll keep my 2014 for awhile.

Damn Hobie just stepped it up huge. That Outback looks bad to the bone. I know they were feeling the pressure from all the other companies, and it looks like they answered back in a big way. Props to Hobie, These things look bad to the bone!

A little video with some more info on the new 2015 AI

Although I'd like to have the new seat. That's probally going to jack up the price at least $200.00. I'm happy just being lowrance ready for 2014. And not having x-ducer hanging below. When I do upgrade down the line ill probally go with a PA in addition to my 14 outback.
