MD180 drives shipping yet?

I placed an order for a 180 drive earlier this month and it is still showing as back-ordered, wondering if these stand-alone drives are shipping out from Hobie yet...cheers, roger

They are back on hold due to more materials shortages.

any update on when stand alone 180 drives will start shipping again? I bottom fished a large RR bridge for 7 hours Monday in strong tidal currents and was really wishing I had reverse...cheers, roger

thanks for the update, my V2 and GTT drives are outstanding and I will catch lots of fish using them, when the MD180 gets here it will be that much better (especially in close quarters to big gnarly tidal water bridge pilings, on an i11s )...cheers, roger
