KTF think of everything, constantly evolving. Thanks for the overview and your first initial thoughts Andrew, bet you cannot wait for her maiden voyage. GC weather at the moment is glorious!
I’m keen to learn more, I’ve literally been waiting 2yrs to pull the trigger on one these. Given the firefly now runs at $2699 I’m worried where this one rolls, yes tooling costs on a new mould run into dollars but this seems run hot IMHO.
Hey mate thanks for reaching out 🙏 So the Firefly NextGen 11.5 that I have in my other videos are $2199.00 and the Brand New Kayaks2fish NextGen 12 is going to sit at that higher price tag. Both kayaks are awesome 🙏
All of the pedal drive kayaks come with the max drive which is the mirage drive equivalent... And for the price point it's very good value because not many people want to pay top dollar for a drive that is more expensive. There is other options for Forward and reverse drives if anyone wants 🙏
This is one of the ways Kayaks2fish can keep the costs down to make it more affordable. When you buy a Hobie they give you the opportunity to choose which drive you would prefer to purchase. The standard drive is a lot more cost-effective than the premium drive 🙏
@@xemity7972 Just to clarify they are sold as a package with the max drive which is the equivalent to the mirage drive. This is the most cost-effective option to keep it affordable for everyone. If you would like to upgrade and pay close to double the price I'm sure you could find a drive to upgrade to 🙏
Love it, great attention to detail.
Thanks mate 🙏

Kayaks2fish Kayaks are awesome 👍
They are definitely going from strength to strength awesome kayaks for sure 👍
Does it have the same drive system as the 11.5?

So still can't peddle backwards? That's the only thing stopping me from getting one

@@xemity7972same here it’s the only reason I am looking at other brands. I wish there was a prop pedal option rather than the mirage drive.
