Looks like a Hobie going thru a mid-life crisis...   :D

It was made with hardcore bassers in mind. Especially the guys who want to fish a lot but want to cut costs. I think it'll work great for them. Lot's of room and only a small trailer needed to portage. Ability to stand, a live well area in the bow, cool seat for those warm bassy climates, and rudder under the hull for tight turns. Like every tool in the shed, it has a use. Just we're more salties so may not appeal so much.

As to what it is.. I'm with y'all.. I dunno! :)

I'm in their target market for this one...  I spend 95% of my time bass'n on the lakes and I always bring too much stuff (like all bassers do).  I can only imagine the price though  :'(  It will be a while before I can afford one.

It's a boat for duck hunters. The dog sits on the bow until she jumps off to retrieve that mallard I just drilled.

If you're interested in a test drive I can hook you up. I'll let you know when I get my hands on one.

Yeah, that kind of worked out as well. I've heard that the back tank well fits bird dogs well. ;)

This is the new Kaboyak. If you want to chat up the boating crowd at the yacht club you can actually say you own a boat and carry your kayak inside it.
Or maybe this is the improved Hoboyak designed for water bound homeless that can store all the belongings from the shopping cart and have room to spare for the dog.
Sorry, bad analogy! I live in Ballard and we seem to have an abundance of people down on their luck.
(Okay, I might get the hat for a bad comment).

I do like the flip up center console for easy relief! and the side hand rails for those fast downhill descents.

My first thought was that the bow looked like the front of an aircraft carrier. Hmmm, maybe the RC plane crowd could mount arresting cables on that front deck. :P

88lbs!!! :o That's more than my wherry! I guess a trailer really might be useful. :-\

What that boat needs is a nice sparkle/glitter bass boat paint job.

With a catchy name and a matching trailer.

Because of the casting deck, and ability to stand up and cast, I can see flyfishermen loving this yak...  Nothing up front for the line to get tangled around.  Unlike the cockpit of my Revo!   :(

Great for lakes, and some rivers I would think.
