Just in case anyone is living in an underground bunker, Hobie has just released the Mirage Compass. I wish I knew it was coming before I bought my Outback. Not that I don't love my Outback, but the reduced weight would have been great. It's 87 lbs fully rigid with the Mirage drive and it's under 2K in price.
Here are the specs:
- Crew: 1
- Length: 12’ / 3.66 m
- Width: 34” / 0.86 m
- Capacity: 400 lbs / 181 kg
- Fitted Hull Weight: 68 lbs / 31 kg
- Fully Rigged Weight: 87 lbs / 39 kg
- Hull Construction: Rotomolded Polyethylene
