    That's the Native Propel, right?

    I haven't seen one of those in person but they look more like a sit inside. lots of guys use those but from my research I believe the sit on top a better choice for bigger water. Just my 2 cents...

        I've seen these and considered them in lieu of the hobie. The seem really nice but they do cost a bit more. They can go forward and backwards which is really nice, but the prop would really get caught up in the weeds.
