: John - they work even better than advertised!!!!
: I've only rented ones so far, but they are great... I used it primarily for fishing, but they are easier to propel thru the water by pedal power than conventional kayaks are by paddling for light recreational use. They are not recommended for surfing or whitewater use, as the drive system protrudes quite a bit below the kayak and is easily bent. But, on a like or slow river, when you combine both pedal power and paddling on the Hobie (this does take some getting used to) you really fly with the combination of both. Steering is really easy with the rudder and turn knob located at your side. They are very stabile compared to Sit-in Kayaks, and much safer, should you really goofup and turn it over or fall out. You just reboard, like climbing out the side of a swimming pool.
: You should enjoy them a lot.
