Hobies are selling everywhere, true. My main skepticism is that it might be a bit of a square peg. What's the price point? If it's alot closer to the Outback, that's a no brainer. But then again, who in the hell will ever buy an outback again if that was the case?

If it's closer to price of the big PA, why not pay a tad more for more stability, storage, etc?

Either way, it's definitely worthy news, and I'm sure it will be quality!

As far as 20 lb's. lighter. I don't see that really being a major bone of contention. Even 20 lb's. lighter it's still heavy as hell. Put the wheels on and they weigh essentially the same.

JMHO. Love this site and the people who contribute to it.
