Just when you thought Hobie could not get any better, their engineers introduce 360 degree Mirage Drive with fin kickup technology...amazing!

Initial rumor has it that the hole for this drive is different meaning it will only be on new models. As with all rumors, take it with a grain of salt."Fish on a Dish" - 2017 Jackson Big Tuna

I was initially thrilled as I plan to add an Outback to my inventory next year. Than I saw the MSRP; $4,800 for just the drive. Ouch.Mike

After watching the above video that ronaultmd posted, YouTube autoplayed this one https://youtu.be/yrx6TJCDDAM where they confirm only available on a specific color PA 12 and 14 due to different well design. Looks like some awesome tech, but not something I'll be able to afford for a while...-JustinComment

Will only be available on the redesigned PA12/PA14 in blue digi-camo.
And its $4800 for the entire PA14 with 360 drive, so i've been told.Hobie Ivory Dune ProAngler 14 Lowrance Elite 7 ti TotalScanComment

Pretty pricey! I don't see myself buying more than three or four of them...Originally posted by ronaultmtd View Post
Maybe I didn't watch the videos closely enough, but I didn't see how the 360 drives were being controlled. Did I miss something?"Fish on a Dish" - 2017 Jackson Big Tuna

The direction is controlled by what looks like the existing rudder toggle, and the 360 is controlled by a truckers knob that sits on top of the direction control.Originally posted by nhunter344 View PostPretty pricey! I don't see myself buying more than three or four of them...
