the other Hobie model you should consider is the Revolution Fish. It is 13.5 feet and the hull wt is 68lbs without the drive and seat. With a roller on the back rack position ... I can load the yak on my Passat wagon solo.
It is very popular in the Northeast with the NE Fishing kayak crew. Some nights in June- August at Joppa flats you may see 4-5 guys fishing in their Revos and all have GPS/fishfinders and VHF radios pinned to their PFDs.
It is also about 400-500 less than the Pro angler.
I have fished with my Revo Fish for 2 summers and have landed several 40 inch Stripers without any problems fishing at night.
Feel free to send me a PM if you have specific questions on the revo Fish Hobie yak...
