HOBIE MIRAGE OUTBACK

Control and stability when fishing from a kayak is key to being successful – the more comfort and function, the more enjoyment and convenience you have. Hobie has addressed this need for decades and even more so for 2019 with its refined Mirage Outback. Design highlights start from the bottom up with its sleeker, fine-tuned hull design, which allows it to cut easily through the water, and the standard Miragedrive 180 with Turbo Fins offers ideal speed and thrust, in both forward and reverse. There’s also a new drop-down rudder to maximize maneuverability and dual steering provides quicker control. The hull also introduces Hobie’s new Guardian transducer shield that is designed to protect your fish finder’s transducer puck from damage. Features continue above the surface with a wider 86 cm (34 in) standing deck plus new compartments, cargo hatches, and mesh compartments. MSRP: From $2,799.00 USD www.hobie.com
