Everyone was waiting for big news from Hobie and they unleashed the new MirageDrive 180 with reverse. Anglers have been asking for improved manoeuvrability and Hobie delivered at the 2016 ICAST tradeshow. The new MirageDrive features narrower fins than the current MirageDrive without sacrificing performance or speed. Pull a cord, and the MirageDrive flips 180 degrees to go in reverse. Hobie promises that the new drive goes just as fast backwards as forwards with no increase in noise or turbulencce. The new MirageDrive will fit in existing boats. Price on the MirageDrive 180 is still being calculated. Expect it to hit stores in 2017. We’re also stoked to see a new camo color pattern on the PA12 for a unique look or to hide the boat on backwater birding trips.
