I picked up the new Hobie with reverse drive as soon as it appeared at Key Sailing in Pensacola. Absolutely love it. Ability to back out of cover with fish on. Unfortunately, the strap for the reverse pull cord broke where it screws in the attachment arm. No easy way to back out broken screw in. Will have to pick up new strap and the attachment. Bet its pricey. Looking at design, I am not surprised it broke there, it is definitely a weak spot. Haven't looked up parts yet to make fix, used some Gorilla tape to hold strap to attachment. Disappointing, had kayak less than a year.
