2023 Hobie Mirage Outback
About This Yacht
The 2023 Hobie Mirage Outback is a 12'9" fishing kayak built on pedal propulsion with the MirageDrive 180 system. The drive features Turbo Kick-Up Fins that retract automatically on impact, allowing passage through shallow water and around obstacles without risk of damage. The hull weighs 85 pounds and supports a maximum capacity of 425 pounds when fully rigged.
The boat measures 34 inches wide and is designed for stability while standing and casting. An elevated Vantage CTW seat is fully adjustable, and the deck is covered with EVA pads for secure footing. Dual rudder steering provides directional control across varying water conditions. The drive operates in both forward and reverse under foot power alone, requiring no engine or fuel.
The layout includes integrated H-Rail and H-Track mounting systems, a Guardian retractable transducer shield, multiple rod holders, tackle storage compartments, a large bow hatch, and a spacious rear tank well. These features accommodate fishing gear and tackle organization throughout the boat.
