My wife is very interested in the Hobie Mirage Eclipse. She's demo'ed one last year and now is desiring to have her own. Other than the cost itself, is there any downside to the Dura model? Does the foam covering hold up well? Does it get dirtier quicker? Is the speed affected at all? I ask because in most cases we will be having to transport it on a vehicle or trailer. It seems that the regular, non-dura model, get's pretty beat up from handling that would come loading and unloading from a vehicle, truck, trailer, etc., not to mention getting it to the water, etc. Someday, we'll might have place at the lake, but that's not in the cards in the near future. So, if the dura is going to be a better for how we use it, I'd like to just bite the bullet and get it rather than find out later and wish we had. Hope this question makes sense.
Thanks, Brian
