I admit I don’t have first hand experience with the Bonafide 127… There’s a couple things I see on the Bonafide that I like better than the Outback, like the way the rudder is protected when in the “up” position. The outback rudder is vulnerable, but they give you a guard that snaps in place to protect the rudder…🙄 The biggest thing for me is the drive unit in the Hobies. 1. It’s a very efficient, quiet and smooth drive. 2. You can keep moving forward by just barely moving the peddles. (Don’t have to do complete back and forth movement when you have something on your lap. 3. If you get into shallow water you can push one pedal forward and the fins hug the bottom of the kayak. 4. The drive is light and takes up very little space in the back seat of the truck when transporting. 5. Two clicks releases the drive and you can easily remove it. 6. If you hit a log or something, the fins kick up and then snap back into place. The only thing about the Hobie drive that is inconvenient is you have to pull a cable to shift into reverse… but you adapt to that pretty quickly… Not trying to convince you one way or another, just giving you my experience with the Hobies…😉😁

Most fun kayak.
I agree! 👍😁
Right now I’m stuck between this kayak and the bonafide p127. I don’t know which one is better.

@@WildEdgeOutdoors thank you for the reply, it looks like I’m going with the Hobie!
@@IMGhostRogue I really like mine! 😉
Muito bom o vídeo ... curti muito
Very glad you liked the video! 👍😁
Hmmmm it's that green or the camp. Only choice right now at dealer. Grest reviews by the way.
Thank! I normally get camo kayaks, but decided on the bright green because of all the big boat traffic on my lake in the summer! 😳😉
In Hawaii I had orange, in case I had to be rescued from ocean🥴
@@kennethsmith8844 Sounds like a good plan! 👍😁
