There isn’t very much footage out there of people bass fishing out of a Hobie Pro Angler 17, so I took out Mariner Sail’s PA 17 and did some bass fishing out of it. I showed the loading and unloading of the kayak and I was incredibly surprised. This kayak is really fun and I enjoyed it a lot. I will be taking this out again and talking more about the trailer its on and showing its tandem purpose as well. The trailer makes this kayak very usable. I hope you enjoyed this video and I look forward to bringing you more content on this kayak and others. God Bless!

I had a Hobie when I lived in Waimea, Kauai.went out early one morning, not paying attention I got swamped by a big wave. Lost a trolling motor, battery, fishing poles. But lived to tell the tell
Where can I buy one with this setup?
I just bought a PA14 and I need a trailer. It is too heavy for me at 69 years old to deal with alone. Thanks for the video. Best Regards.
Adding h bars (leaning bars) to front and back make this fatyak a barge for two 200lbs guys. We stand, cast, and land fish with no problems.
Remember: in a Kayak, whatever isn’t lashed, is lost!
I loved your review. I’ve always wanted to see a review on this boat. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet but I think I’m going to get two 14’s . I think the only drawback might be loading and unloading. Are you sure Roy Clark isn’t your dad ? He too is a good looking guy. Thanks again !
Glad to have found this video.
Awesome review!…
That would be sweet to take the family out on
Very nice, Hobie makes good quality products. Very very pricey.
How much does it cost like 7k
Cool as hell. Ray Michigan
It looks so stable, can leave it as a kayak with no motor so no need to register it. Or add a motor, can easily go either way.
Also is that a custom trailer for the PA17T?
Lol I was just thinking do you think Duc would allow a PA17 in a tournament? I think KBF has a 16ft length limit but I may be mistaken.
Before I even watch this I’ll say when I tested that PA17T at the last demo I loved it! Thing was cool!
Costs the same as (or more than) a boat too!
It’s pretty sexy, I won’t lie, and of course Hobie is the best. But for the size/weight, trailering requirement & need to be cautious where & how you stand and move…I think I would stick with a Jon boat. Or what about a Roundabout for 1/3 the price of a PA?
There’s a time & place for kayaks, just as for boats of all types. To me personally the PA 17 sort of combines the negatives of both kayaks and boats.
Awesome review! That's a heck of a Yak!
Honestly if your going to use that solo, might as well drop a trolling motor on the front somehow, have plenty of room to stand and control the boat with a foot control.
Get out of my spot man! LOL
I see this with a motor in the rear mirage drive well. :-). Basically like you say, a boat; and an ice chest/live well in the back.
