2015 Hobies are in!!!!

Kayak Shed got a delivery of the brand new 2015s this morning. I got mine and I'm super stoked on it. Shoot me a pm or call the shop if you want to get one.

I like that seat change.

-Mark-

I'll be in touch.  :-)

I am super jealous!

I'll let you all know how it rides tomorrow.

I'm actually tempted to cross over to the dark side.  What models do you have with this shipment?  The 16 is calling my name.

Hopefully my 16 will be in the next shipment

We have every model except for the Revo 16, PA 17 Tandem and the Island series.

Hey Langcod,

New Outback looks sweet.  Is the shop doing any specials on left over 2014's? Or demo or rental Outbacks to make room for the 2015's?

I'll let you all know how it rides tomorrow.

I got to demo a 2015 Revo 13 a few weeks back. They are super nice. The new drive feels really smooth but it definitely still needs the turbo fin upgrade.
I'm looking into getting a Revo16

Do the new seats adjust up and down?I'm interested in what Cosmo said also if the wife OKs it.

I've got 3 used boats for sale!  http://www.northwestkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=14198.msg154296;topicseen#new

The seat does move up and down. The rear of the seat has three positions and the front has multiple positions. This video goes over the seat pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LHgWxxIYNvs?autohide=1&autoplay=1&color=white&fs=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&theme=light

Looks like a really fine seat.

A little late in my report of the seat performance. I had to take it out twice since I recently went from the Outback to the Revo. After adjusting to the different feeling between the boats, I have to report that the seat provides similar stability with increased comfort. There are two things that I've noticed being major improvements. The first is that even in the lowest seat position you're never sitting in water. And the second is that the back support doesn't slip. I don't know if others have had that issue but I always felt that I had to adjust the backrest forward after a while every time I went out. The drive feels smoother as well. Though it does come with the ST fins, it needs the Turbos. The only downside is that the drain in the seat area doesn't empty very quickly. But it is nice that you are able to open an close the drain without moving your backside.
