Test drove the demo and wife and I both liked it. One cool thing is the new Mirage drives have a reverse. Old Outback is about 75# and the inflatable is 35 for the kayak and 65 fully assembled. Can check the kayak in it's bag in an airplane. Without the pedals, and seat, is under the 50# limit saving overcharges. A video of the I11s https://youtu.be/8hjgTrKdgPA BTW..how much do they cost down there...I expect they'll be 50% more expensive here. I had a Hobie rigid hull (plastic) version of this. It had the pedals and "flippers". It was amazing how fast you can get them going if you can pedal hard, fast and long enough. I used to race the launch service boats in the harbor with mine and could often keep up with them. |

Those things can keep up with "hull speed" on my pontoon and when I do slow down to give them a break they act like I want to race. After a minute of trying to get by them without rocking them, "Surf's up" and I nail it. |

Even my Legend did the same.... |
