I know Hobie tightly controls retail prices. What other SOT fishing yak makers allow more aggressive pricing?

Well I've been checking locally and on the Net. Looks like Wilderness and OK allow a bit of flex, but not Jackson. Looked at Hobie Outbacks, Revo 11s and the Tarpon 120 in the flesh today. The Hobie prices are firm, according to the dealer. I liked the looks of the Tarpon as a fishing yak, and bet it would perform as well or better than my late, lamented Trident 13, even though rod storage is more problematical and it lacks the sonar well. Nice little boat.
Have had two lumbar disks replaced in late winter, I'm really having to think about NOT getting a Hobie with Mirage, dang it ...
