Hello to all, I am new to kayak fishing and considering a PA 14. So my question is, should I buy now, or wait to see what changes the 2015 will have? And when do they come out with the new models?

Thanks

I believe it's next month.....suggest contacting your Hobie dealer to see when he will have the 2015's in stock.

In the same "boat", I decided to wait for the new model 2015. I think "hopefully" they will add some of the mods that they put on the tandem 17. I believe the new release is set on Sept. 1 but I dont know when the stores will get it.

Probably best to wait.

Quote:
Last but scarcely least, the 2015 Pro Angler 12 and 14 models boast the beautiful multi-sided H-Rail accessory mounting posts. They also get the new new drop-down skeg introduced on the Pro Angle 17T. It’s sure to help the PA 12 in particular hold its course.

Thanks for sharing this article. http://m.kayakfishmag.com/news/vantage-ct/

I tip my hat to Hobie for introducing a new Vantage style seat to most of the fleet for 2015. I'm sure the new Mirage drives with the roller bearings will be well received. :D

I'm still waiting for San Antonio to receive a shipment from Hobie. They're telling me October 13th is when they'll get them.
