Picked up a Hobie with pedal drive for the wife and ordered her a Bimini Sunshade. With her chronic pain and health stuff comfort is an absolute must. I hope this set up works for her. No pics yet.

Which model Hobie? I love my Outback but modified and raised the seat a few inches. It sat a little lower than other brands of that size and width. I mounted a Hobie Vantage ST out of a Pro Angler in my Jackson Coosa FD. That has to be the best most comfortable yak seat I have been in.Picked up a Hobie with pedal drive for the wife and ordered her a Bimini Sunshade.

I have the 2020 Which is the same as the 2019. Once you try the mirage drive in your Shearwater you will be ordering anotherHobie Mirage outback with the vantage seat. 2019 model. The seat was the what sealed the deal for me. Even has adjustable lumbar support.

I will be interested in your thoughts after you have used both the Outback and the Shearwater. Seat comfort, stability, etc. I was initially interested in the Shearwater and planned on buying the Mirage 180 Kickup drive for it if I went that route. (I really like that standing perch, at least in concept, on the Shearwater...) Ended up buying the Outback just because there were no Shearwaters imported yet to water test. Figured I couldn’t go wrong with the Hobie and loved it after water testing. The kick-up fins are a must-have feature for me where I fish or I would have saved a several hundred buying the 2019.
troutman where do you put in and take out on your float trips? I want to look at a map and plan about a 4 hour float with the wife.
A good easy float is put in off Of Douthit Ferry Rd next to the soccer fields and pull out off Hwy 113. Nice relaxing trip.
You wont be able to use the pedal drive on the Etowah though. Some places it's just deep enough to float a kayak.
If you still have my number, give me a call if you want to.
