You can rent/demo them from Aquabatics and Undercurrents. Try as many as you can and you'll know when you have found the one for you.

you can get them from about $500 to $2k+.

I've got a cheapish 12' Ascend sit on top that I love, nice and wide and stable, got it from Bass Pro. Hobie is a pretty high end brand, but there are a lot of options to pick from.

Lots of info here and on other internet resources, it's a great way to fish.

If I was buying again I'd buy a Hobie with the foot paddle drive. Makes a lot more sense for fishing since it's hard to fish with a paddle in your hand. 12 foot would be good.

Doc your right that Hobie Outback is the real deal . When I started
Fishing 50 or so yrs ago ,first 5 yrs ,freighter canoe ,eastern Manitoba
We did some pretty haywire trips . I figure should end in a canoe ,so to
Speak . That's a great website ......

I have the Coosa by Jackson Kayaks. It's awesome.

I have a Jackson Big Tuna , love it. I would love to try a hobbe at some point.

When compared with a canoe you will get wet, but I find them easier to fish out of generally.
