Anyone tried/seen Hurricane Skimmer Propel?

I'm curious about this kayak as an alternative to Hobie. Apparently it's about 55 lbs.

I have looked at it a few times, well the Native version of it http://nativewatercraft.com/product/slayer-propel-12-lt/  A youtuber I follow has one and seems to like it a lot. He is a fair bit smaller than me though! All in all looks like a nice kayak, lightweight, but I can't stomach the price point on them new.

Very different boats, Matt.  Hurricane kayaks are made of thermoformed ABS and a lot lighter.

Kyle, you might search around in NCKA for information.  Hurricane and Eddyline kayaks have a large and enthusiastic following in that forum.

If I were back in the market for a pedal drive, this one would interest me.

They are about as close as you can get. The LT has a few more fishing specific features but otherwise the drive and mold is the same.

Sorry about that Matt.  The pictures Google showed me were of a roto-molded Native Slayer, not this one.  My error - but Google is still evil.

No apology necessary! It was on NCKA where I first read about both of these models (and how close they are) So you're definitely dead on about the following there.

Thanks guys, I'll test it out. Think NA may have one.

Kyle, you'll let us know your impressions of it, I hope.

(Thank you, Matt. That was most gracious of you.)

Since it was mentioned, Gig Habor Water Sports has a Native Watercraft Slayer 12 LT Propel Fishing Kayak - $2199.  It's not a demo per se but I was told I could launch and exit from the dock this weekend if I can get away.  I'll give a report if I'm able to give it a run.
