I believe you can use either the mirage drive adapter OR a removable pod (for electronics etc). It would appear easier to stand & fish with the electronics pod compared to the mirage drive adapter. BUT in my opinion, it will be easier to stand & fish from the G2 with mirage adapter than it is to stand & fish from a Hobie Revo/Outback/Adventure thanks to the additional deck space and overall stability. Just a guess though.
(also, if the mirage adapter floats...I suppose you can simply remove it and let it float beside the kayak while you stand & fish or pee)

Take both out and it become an Asian outhouse. (Toilet hole) pretty convenient I must say.

Baitman, in the picture of the pedals in your new insert, I see a white one in the background.  Is that a plug for the hole if you do not want to have anything there?  If that is a plug, is it flush with the floor?  If it is not a plug, how hard would it be to create one?  I am somewhat concerned that the new G2 may have some issues around standing if the pedals are in.  The plug would manage that for me.

     That part in the background is a plug, for a casting,  used to form the seat base adapters.    It needed more tilt angle ( recline ) to be comfortable while paddling.
      If you've a need to walk around the deck,,, might want to consider a Predator.   You won't need to stand that far forward in the Raptor... quite possible you could stand in the back cargo deck, some do that already.  With the added floatation and space, you could easily enough put a small "Tiny" size person back there.  :smt002  Or a big dog.!!    There's a large flat space between the seat and drive insert to stand.. that area has a watertight  8" 1/4 turn access hatch,,  Open that and you'll find  a 12 x 16" wide  rubberized storage "pod".   for,,, bait, tackle, phone, throwing net... lunch. 
 
 Might make a " plug" in the future that will allow a fully flat deck, but I don't see that as being a need at the moment.   

   Just a few more weeks,,, we'll have a video that will answer most of the questions.

   Yup.  :smt001      That makes three more,, plus the Texas boys that picked up on this thread.   

Totally STOKED !    I'm very appreciative to all  of you for your trust and support.     Spent the day clearing tools out of my truck in preparation for this trip across the continent.   I'm soooo ready for this.

Just went back out to their Facebook page and saw a more completed version of the G2 there. I guess that is the mold.  I have to admit that it is looking much nicer that I expected.

No, that's the weight of Jim's custom fiberglass Raptor.
I don't know how much the G2 will weigh, but my guess would be 60-75lbs?
