i have been researching this long before i shell out cash looking for new features and stability in kayaks specifically designed for saltwater fishing... and the hobie cats have my attention because of the mirage system( foot pedaling) but i also want a trolling motor battery set up too and of course a paddle. Malibu kayaks have some great features too. I also look at the total weight capacity and want it up to 450 pounds minimum as a battery trolling motor setup is good for
what 100 pounds maybe alone. you start filling coolers with beverages ....frozen bait...plugs - water ,survival gear.... and whamo
your over the limit in capacity real quick.
