I found a deal I could not pass up on an upgrade from my 2017 Hobie PA12 180 drive to a 360 drive. so I listed my 2017 and it sold within a day for a price tag I was very happy with and picked up a new kayak a few weeks ago.

Ill wait till the new year of add on the accessories. 2 main difference is the drive. This is the 360 drive. The other difference is the guardian transducer, which allows you to retract your side imaging transducer into the hull. Oh ya, the fins also have the kick up option in case you hit a fixed object.

Sweet ride and love the colour.
You’ll have to give us some updates when you’ve had it on water for a bit.

If you push the fins level with the hull you could be in 0.5 ft of water. I usually take them out and use the paddle if the water is less than 2.5ft deep. They do have kick back fins incase you hit a log or something unanticipated so you don't bend the mast in the fins.

You would be surprised how well they also paddle. Just remember stuff you mount like any kayak to the sides will effect you paddling.
