I have had a Hobie Outback 2011 for about 7 years, I have enjoyed using it. But, I think I am getting a little to old for the weight and heavy lifting it up onto my truck's roof rack and no room to store a trailer. The new ones look nice. I just can't see paying so much for a new one that is just a giant piece of plastic. The hull gets scratched up way to easily (probably true on all kayaks not just Hobie). I wish they would put a Kevlar, carbon fiber or some other tough coating on the bottom in the areas that count. A few scratches and you lose a lot of speed and efficiency. But, then I am not an engineer, there probably is a good reason nobody has done this yet (referring to the Kevlar or carbon fiber....maybe to easily damaged by UV light, won't bond to the plastic, etc.?). I think I could figure out a way to justify the current cost, if it had a superior, scratch proof bottom. lol

What is the Price for that completely rigged?

Hello. Please email us at sales@nauticalventures.com and we can get the process started. Electronics change and multiple vendor prices increase, but we will work to ensure we can maximize your application within any budget and provide you with an estimate.

Fred Fable - 5 years ago

What about the huge amount of water getting into the hull when going thru the surf.
Or this is not a sea kayak? issue reported by many new users of 2018 Hobie outback.
What do you recommend to fix the leaking from the hatch?

Nautical Ventures - 5 years ago

Hey Fred, Hobie has released a seal kit to address this issue. It's free of charge for dealers and the customer. Please contact the dealer you purchased this from.

I'm about to buy the compass but I really prefer the Outback the only thing I'm worried about is loading it by myself because it's much heavier than the compass. What is the easiest device to use to help load it on top of a minivan? thank you

Nautical Ventures - 5 years ago

Hey Jay! We've got some great accessories to help load and launch. Let me get you one of our kayak experts to tailor this response to your specific needs. Please email luke@nauticalventures.com.

They’re ridiculously EXPENSIVE! Darn!.... can you please explain the difference in the propellers hobie-pro angler VS old town design

Hobie is the Mercedes Benz of kayaks, you do get what you pay for.

Is there the option of installing a motorized system .

Nice vid! What type of Yak trailer are you using for transport?

Nautical Ventures - 5 years ago

Your best bet is to contact our kayak sales team for recommendations! You can do so at sales@nauticalventures.com

speedwayman100 - 5 years ago

ridiculously expensive and the only difference between hobie and a 500.00 kayak is the foot peddles. if i was going to spend over 2000 it would be on an aluminum boat not this overpriced crap

speedwayman100 - 5 years ago

i agree but you would sell more if you brought prices down to a reasonable price what you charge is ridiculous

I would buy it if it had a top. Too hot here for that...

Rick W - 5 years ago

I looked at these, then I bought a Gregor Aluminum fishing boat and put a new Yamaha 20 hp on it. The total package, boat, trailer, and motor weights about 500 lbs and could be towed with almost anything. Oh and did I mention I can cruise 20 miles in one hour in case the fish are biting at a different location in the lake?

speedwayman100 - 5 years ago

bingo!

1miltond - 5 years ago

the price ? What a shocker you want a toy chip go to walmart this is not for show of retards is for go all the time hobby people like a good bicycle or good scuba equiment

1miltond - 5 years ago

ok i dont care how much you add to the looks kayak are not stable and taking a kayak to the sea is like taking a cigar to a gasoline parthy you will get hurt they need to work on stability and speed they are great for calm waters whit no predactors around

Jeffry Ice - 5 years ago

To bad Hobie. didn't lower the price. The average working person can not afford there kayaks, I would love one, but can not afford it.

W Boring - 5 years ago

It'll only cost you the same as a real bass boat!

Kyle Kishbaugh - 5 years ago

or buy a jackson big rig now with peddles

bobby hill - 5 years ago

You have to pay to play! I love hobie kayaks. Upgraded from a mirage to an outback to a revo13.

speedwayman100 - 5 years ago

i personally dont own one my buddy has hobie and the ability to peddle is cool over using oars but the price they charge is ridiculous and keeps alot of people from buying

bobby hill - 5 years ago

+speedwayman100 what type of kayak do you have and what do you recommend.

Nautical Ventures - 5 years ago

Nice Fleet!

Why would they put the rudder cable way up in the front?

Jeroen Bakker - 5 years ago

insain kayak but in the netherland fishing kayaks arent so populair as in the usa and way to expansive for me sadly

You can buy a nice boat for the price of this...

Adam Burhani - 5 years ago

+saltwater fever Boat laos needs repairs, gas, insurance, oil changes, storage fees, trailer maintainence, dock fees or gas to trailer it back and forth iwth your car, registration and the list goes on. I rather spend $5000 on a kayak with a motor anyday.

Nautical Ventures - 5 years ago

saltwater fever We carry those too!

Roc Noir - 5 years ago

I ditched my Hobie for a nice half cabin fibreglass boat with 50hp for maybe $1300 of your U.S. dollars in preference to loading the cumbersome Hobie onto my roof racks. That said, it's really a case of what the individual wants and is willing to spend. None of the other brands seem to be as tidy nor proven as Hobie designs. I've owned a PA14, three Outbacks and a Revo and enjoyed them all. My only gripe was the weight, which is unavoidable. The price is high, but you are also making an investment as they hold their value well and also once you have upgraded your Hobie the spending can come to an end, whereas a boat will always cost money in fuel, lubrication and constant maintenance. I can honestly say I do miss the freedom and simplicity of kayaks.

saltwater fever - 5 years ago

I'm a native propel kinda guy anyways lol

saltwater fever - 5 years ago

$3000 for a kayak is unaffordable.. nice used boats for 3000

Nautical Ventures - 5 years ago

Really? We've never seen a nice boat for under $3000. We need to get a hold of these boats so we can sell them.

Howabouthetruth You’ll spend what the corporations tell you to spend my little robot, justify your exorbitant spending habits through your yackety-yack defense. Quality used to be a consideration and built into the product, not so much anymore, now it’s just a hot button word to try to justify whatever price they feel is necessary to support corporate Profit requirements

AG Coarseman - 5 years ago

Howabouthetruth Impolite but very true comment LOL
The reality is that the things are either cheap or good, the two very rarely go together.

Howabouthetruth - 5 years ago

Folks like you complain about ANYTHING that "costs over 500 bucks". Not everyone has a bum dead-end low paying job either. And for anyone making the lame comment "I can buy a nice used boat, motor and trailer for that price" is also smoking birdseed.......because I know from experience: USED OUTBOARDS & BOATS immediately require tons of money for repairs. That's exactly why most of them are put up for sale "so cheap". You'll have double the money in it within 6 months, and it STILL won't be right. In THIS life......you get what you pay for. I wouldn't trade my Twin Troller X-10 for the Blue Sky 360.......but I will say: if the Twin Troller was "never invented & produced".......I would take this Blue Sky 360 over ANY kayak on the market today. No disrespect or "hate" meant against you whatsoever......but for crying out loud, we can hear your butt cheeks squeaking from here. "Cheap" equals JUNK 90% of the time IN THE REAL WORLD.

Jeff Knowles - 5 years ago

I love hobie kayaks. This one look sick! I don't know how much it costs. They used too cost 1800 brand new before vantage seat. There is a point were a kayak gets too expensive and for a 1000 or 2000 more you could get a nice boat. I think that the point I'm at. A heavy roof top.kayak without a trailer is a real challenge too do for a fishing trip and I find myself doing it less and less

John Griffin - 5 years ago

at the same point. It comes to the point when I go kayaking im bringing 3 kayaks, for my girlfriend and whoever else is coming, about to get a trailer. Then I thought if I am going to get a trailer then might as well get a damn boat.

seanfishingtexas - 5 years ago

They really need to work on lowering there price, Especially now the patent has run out on them drive system and other companies are using it

Fred Fable - 5 years ago

They really need to work in many ways...Water getting into, from the bow hatch (like older models) and new drive braking very often.
I love the design, amazing...but not reliable so far. Here a real complain, the guy is a US marine with years kayaking in white waters.

+speedwayman100 so don't buy then. Go buy you a cheaper one.

speedwayman100 - 5 years ago

way overpriced and just because your "loyal" dont make you smart

TigerSaint - 5 years ago

+Tikimohn wrong. They're the market leader. Hobie owners are loyal and buy new ones every few years. Just buy a used one since you can't afford it.

Tikimohn - 5 years ago

+TigerSaint wishful thinking? It's a proven method. There's a reason consoles experience a sales jump when the price is lowered.

Why would they lower their price if they're selling ?

Nautical Ventures - 5 years ago

Have you checked out the Hobie Compass? The Compass comes in at just under $2000.

TigerSaint - 5 years ago

Hobie is the market leader. It's Jackson and Native that should lower their price.

AG Coarseman - 5 years ago

They have patented the MD 180 and this is what they will gonna use across their line up.
Besides, the others have still a lot of catch up to do.
Do not get me wrong, I am all for lower prices, just do not see it happening any time soon.

Rich Dunn - 5 years ago

Beer cooler at your feet w a bottle opener! Best new feature.

Kevin Storm - 5 years ago

You went fat on it. Tell me how that is an improvement.

Kevin Storm - 5 years ago

Compass is 34" wide, 2019 Outback also 34" and fully rigged weight of over a hundred pounds, 2017 Outback 33". Here is an article in where the owner claims his 2012 Outback weighs 62 pounds without the pedal drive, with it add 6.2 pounds. Still under 70 pounds. add an inch add 30 Plus pounds? But the Quest is still 28.5" and weighs 65.5 pounds. So again tell me why we need these big fat bassing yaks with peddle drive? The cost is prohibitive compared to a composite or thermo formed boat. I am trying to wrap my mind around the Pro Anglers price versus its 1990's rotomold technology. Even Hurricane can come out with a lighter version peddle drive boat. Come on Hobie quit resting on your laurels and make something beside peddle drive Barca Loungers, some people would like to get somewhere a little quicker without the over bloated tank of a thing you call a kayak. Keep in mind you still have to be able to load and unload these boats, and hopefully you never have to do a one man carry to the water. is the next generation going to have retractable wheels? Because the average person may need them.

AG Coarseman - 5 years ago

Hardly. An inch wider and 1,5 kg heavier is not that much.
If you want lean, buy a Compass.

SaltwaterRook - 5 years ago

But can my 5yo sit with me on it? You all really need something like a child jump seat accessory. It's the only reason I haven't bought a hobie

AG Coarseman - 5 years ago

Howabouthetruth Mate, I think you need to get your facts straight first before replying.
Let me help ya here:

1. The kayak in question was not a PA, it was an OB and the guy simply forgot to close the back hatch. The hatch does not come loose by itself, I can assure you.
2. The yak did not sink completely, if that was the case they would have been unable to rescue it as they did.
3. It is better to have one boat to fish everywhere instead of two-one for freshwater and another for the sea. This is what an OB accomplishes.
4. I’d be very grateful if you could show me a video of that boat you talk about at choppy sea, I am really interested.

Howabouthetruth - 5 years ago

See my main response to you........I forgot THIS video is about the Hobie........yet I STILL refer to the dangers of ANY kayak, INCLUDING the Hobie's. WATCH THE VIDEOS I just recommended about "kayak rescues" and then go try to argue your nonsense with THEM.

Howabouthetruth - 5 years ago

Who here said anything about "going out to sea"??? ONLY YOU. Furthermore, if you think the Blue Sky 360 or ANY kayak "can't be dangerous" in the ocean........then I invite you to see the videos right here on youtube: "Kayak Rescue".........and one of those kayaks was a Hobie Pro Angler 14........one of the hatches came loose on the guy, and his kayak SUNK LIKE A ROCK. I also invite you to visit Chad Hoover's ( Chad is a kayak guru, and heads up the biggest kayak bass fishing tournaments ) youtube channel & see the recent video/interview he did with a man who nearly died from hypothermia AND drowning, simply because his fishing kayak IN A LAKE got tangled IN FISHING LINE. He went to take off, and simple fishing line under water caused his kayak to capsize. THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE TWIN TROLLER. So don't even try to blow smoke about "the Twin Troller looks suicidal at sea".........a total pipe dream of yours. 2 large men CAN'T capsize the Twin Troller if they tried. Plenty of video footage shows that demonstration. I've owned mine for nearly 2 years now, and I actually stand on the side rail to take a wizz over the side. TRY THAT WITH ANY KAYAK. The Twin Troller is even safer than a large jonboat, because even large jonboats capsize VERY easily. The viewer was asking about "safety to bring along his 5 year old child".......and you will NOT find a small boat anywhere near as safe as the Twin Troller, pure & simple. Lastly, this video shows the Blue Sky 360 SET UP FOR FRESH WATER BASS FISHING........So spare me with your nonsense.

AG Coarseman - 5 years ago

Howabouthetruth For sea fishing that boat looks suicidal.

Howabouthetruth - 5 years ago

AFORWW............Psst.......Ya want TOTAL & ABSOLUTE SAFETY for kids, stability, and maneuverability like NO other small boat at ANY price.........check out the Twin Troller X-10. The ONLY TRUE 100% "hands-free fishing" in the industry. I've owned mine for going on 2 years now, and I can honestly say, on a performance AND dollar for dollar basis......it's the best investment I ever made in any fishing vessel.........barr none. And I've owned a lot of various water craft, from canoes all the way up to 2 nice bass boats. Sold factory direct only, to cut out all the dealer over-head. The dog gone thing will last a lifetime, with near zero operating costs & maintenance. Every video you see about the TT is spot-on accurate....and then some. I am in no way affiliated with the company........just a super satisfied owner. Far more comfortable & spacious, 2 anglers can stand or sit on killer seats that spin 360 degrees, and 2 large men can't capsize the Twin Troller if they tried. Modify the boat any way ya like. The possibilities for mods are near endless. Great company too, and tons of owner reviews. I have yet to see anyone complain about it in any way. I wouldn't trade mine for anything, and I'm about as hardcore as you can get for trophy bass fishing here in Florida. I carry 8 baitcaster rods laid completely flat and out of the way, 4 in each side tray. The trays are so deep, NO rod straps necessary........even in choppy water when using my outboard. Plenty of room for tackle and cooler too. Plus your accessories. Check em out.......you'll be glad you did.

+Nautical Ventures do you recall what kind of seat?

Nautical Ventures - 5 years ago

We had a family rent some kayaks from our Dania location over the weekend. They had their 3yo sit on a seat behind the dad on a PA12. It looked like a great set up!

AG Coarseman - 5 years ago

AFORWW Judging how Hobie made the rear cargo area bigger than 2016, you must be a minority. You can take a passenger on the 2019, but Hobie wont sell you a seat to put there probably because they think the length is not enough to guarantee the safety of two persons, so you do it at your own risk.

SaltwaterRook - 5 years ago

+AG Coarseman A tandem, I never should have thought about that...Of course I looked at tandems. Seems a pretty obvious choice. However, I don't want the length and weight of a tandem because guess what? Sometimes I'm solo! By design, it's got plenty of room on the rear deck. Some of us can catch fish without a giant fucking box of shit behind us.

AG Coarseman - 5 years ago

Perhaps you should consider a tandem boat, just saying....
The OB is by design a single seater, made to provide all the creature comforts for one fisherman.
