Not seeing that new seat as being very functional or comfortable? I have a PA and I think the armless seat is a huge plus for movement and comfort? Not alot of people are going to like having the arms on that seat! And height adjustment??? Really how high do you need to sit???

Wondering about the arms myself. I'm hoping they're low enough to not be a hindrance. I can see a benefit to a higher seat position when fishing clear water. Standing is not a good option for me.

Hobie PA 12 is in!

Postby Burnham » Wed May 30, 2012 9:07 pm

So mine finally came in! Many thanks to Alden's of Sunapee Mark and Mike were awesome and put up with my nagging until it came in... They also convinced me to wait instead of grabbing an Outback before this was released. Mostly rigged up just need to finish a deck connector on the Lowrance unit. I took it out today and it was great. Pretty nice having steering on both sides and the center Plano hatch is great too. Not too bad loading in and out of my truck with a bed extender.

I registered it with Hobie yesterday and they emailed me saying it was the 38th unit built so there must not be very many of them out there yet.

I agree with that! I think we need a NEYBF forum now...
