Hobie’s Mirage Drive gives this boat hands-free propulsion for fishing. Foot pedals power flexible flippers below the hull that drive the boat faster than most people can paddle. The flippers fold flush for beach landings. Adjusting a small hand control tunes your rudder course. A tackle box (included) fits into the rear hatch, and forward of that is a large cargo well flanked by two flush-mounted rod holders. A watertight compartment is forward of the gel-filled seat. Two mesh-covered side pockets hold small items, and there’s a large compartment in the bow. Launching wheels are included. This is a very fast boat that can handle large bays, open reservoirs and big rivers. A turbo-flipper upgrade will zip this baby along even faster, if your legs are in shape.
