I am in Maryland and have been dogging my dealer since May for two of these. We had a false alarm in July. But it looks like August…hopefully…maybe. He has 9 on order. I am buying these without a test ride because this will be a huuuuge upgrade from a 2007 Hobie Outback and I need a second so I can bring a friend. Couple of questions for anyone who has recently received theirs. Did they figure out a way to secure the paddle to the deck? I am buying two and wonder if I need to buy a new cart to accommodate stacking when I transport. What would the length have to be to fit both? I am seeing the dealer this weekend to test our a Compass but it is going to make me even more antsy for the Lynx I bet. Do the Lynx come with a bag to secure removable rudder, wires and pedals? Thanks for any info.

I put a deposit on one about 2 weeks ago and my dealer is telling me Sept or Oct

That is what I am hearing about my second one also. The dealer actually has no idea but he did tell me just the other day that they are not getting the papaya in any more this year. Said he got a notice that Hobie can not get that color anymore this year. Wife is going to decide to settle for the tan or wait till next year. He also told me that there will be a 10% price increase across the board next year, probably on all hobie items including kayaks.

There is supposedly a couple of Lynx in stock in Florida. I just ordered a Lynx in Houston and the dealer has the boat arrival as January.
