Looks like detailed information will be available in 10 days. Pre-production boat will be at a Bassmasters event about the same time. Production due to start in early March. |

that might be pushing it. Production is expected to start mid March, with dealer receiving them the end of March. However Long Beach and the factory are very close so it may happen. |

We are talking more of a Mirage "Boat" than Kayak for sure. Not unlike handling a Sunfish or Laser hull on a dolly. From Wikipedia on the Laser: --The hull weight is 56.7 kg (130 lb), which makes the boat light enough to lift onto a car-top rack.-- |

From Wikipedia on the Laser: --The hull weight is 56.7 kg (130 lb), which makes the boat light enough to lift onto a car-top rack.-- Somewhere I have a video of a Laser blowing off the roof of a station wagon... And surviving. I hope not to see the same thing for a Pro Angler. I'm guessing you guys had to come up with a new cart to haul that much.... vessel. |

Plug-in cart still works, but yes... sling dolly is in the works. |

Hull weight 88 pounds Fully rigged 138 pounds What comprises the extra 50 pounds? |

Just looking at the boat and the description, it can add up fast. 88# of plastic means powder. In addition to that there are: embedded brass attachment points for seat, grab rails, rudder, Click N Go, etc. -- probably a couple dozen at least seat and mounting hardware rudder, rudder control, cable housing 4 grab rails and mounting hardware 2 hatch liners and 8" hatch 6 rod tubes all accessory mounts, padeyes, bungees, etc. C & G units standing pads, cutting board and any other surfaces this may or may not also include Drive and paddle It doesn't look like any one item weighs all that much, but there appears to be a lot of goodies. I don't know if this accounts for the weight differential or not, but if you put it all in a pile, it would definitely be a two handed lift!
