Fish finder. It has opened up a whole new fishing experience on the kayak. I really like the Hobie PA...maybe some day. For now I’ll continue to customize what I have

So last year i bought a 2017 Hobie PA 12. I bought it used if a lot of accessories. Fish finder, Bixpy, beach wheels etc. for 3k i couldn’t pass it up. My first kayak is/was a old town predator. I love the old town but i wanted a pedal drive to get around further. I few things i noticed. For one, you still get tired even using your legs, but you do get around faster and you can stay put without picking up the paddle. The next thing i noticed was the old town is actually faster. The PA12 feels like a barge in the water. I went out with a guy who has a Hobie Outback and he was super fast in his kayak and he seemed more stable. I feel safe in the PA12 but not with the seat in the high position. All in all I’m happy with the PA12. If i was to do it again I’d get the Outback. Either way, I’m looking forward to the spring to get back out there. I’ve never seen a video with anyone criticizing the Hobies they have. Does anyone else experience what i have ? Maybe i haven’t been in enough kayaks to know better .IDK

You said that you didnt feel safe with the seat in a high position...I am thinking to purchase PA12, and this is important really feature for me. Can I ask what is your weight and height?

@@Henttari I’m 6ft 250lbs I’ve been out a lot more since i post this. I still kinda feel the same way, although i haven’t tried to raise the seat up again. There’s been a few times I’ve been out on the PA12 and my back started hurting me. I’ve been told by others that it happens when you’re out for hours at a time on this kayak or any other one. I still feel like the Outback is a faster kayak. You loss some space but, not much. If you’re not moving over a large area in your kayak, the PA12 is a good choice. For long distances i think an Outback would work better

@@lloydboone7185 Thanks Lloyd, this was really important to me! Have you tried PA14, is it more safe in high seat position?
@lloydboone71853 жыл бұрын
@@Henttari No, i haven’t. The PA12 may be okay in the high position, i just wasn’t use to it when i first tried. Maybe if i tried it a few times i would’ve gotten use to it. Maybe it’s just my balance. The Old Town kayak i have , i ride it in the high position all the time. To me, it doesn’t feel tippy . Maybe if i got use to the feel of the PA12 in the high seat position it might not feel so tippy.
