2017 Hobie Pro Angler 17 – Fully Rigged Fishing Machine with Spot-Lock Motor & Trailer

If you’re searching for the ultimate offshore and estuary fishing platform without spending new-boat money, this 2017 Hobie Pro Angler 17 deserves your attention. Fully equipped and ready to hit the water, this premium fishing kayak package combines Hobie’s legendary stability and fishability with the convenience of modern electric propulsion and advanced electronics.

Loaded with quality accessories including a Minn Kota bow-mounted Spot-Lock motor, two FPV 50Ah lithium batteries, a Lowrance Elite sounder, twin MirageDrive 180 Turbo drives, and a trailer, this is a turn-key fishing setup that offers exceptional value for serious anglers.

Built for Serious Anglers

The Hobie Pro Angler 17 has long been regarded as one of the most capable tandem fishing kayaks ever produced. Designed for anglers who want maximum stability, comfort, storage, and fishing capability, the PA17 comfortably accommodates two adults while providing enough deck space and storage for extended fishing adventures.

Whether you’re targeting snapper offshore, working estuary systems for flathead and bream, chasing barra in northern waterways, or simply enjoying a day on the water with a fishing partner, the Pro Angler 17 delivers confidence-inspiring performance.

One of the biggest advantages of the PA17 is its incredible stability. Standing to cast, sight fish, or fight larger fish becomes second nature thanks to the kayak’s wide and stable hull design. For anglers transitioning from boats or tinnies, the Hobie Pro Angler 17 offers a surprisingly familiar fishing experience while eliminating many of the costs associated with traditional trailer boats.

Minn Kota Spot-Lock Convenience

The standout feature of this package is undoubtedly the bow-mounted Minn Kota electric motor with Spot-Lock technology.

For anglers who haven’t experienced Spot-Lock, it’s a complete game changer. Using GPS positioning, the motor can automatically hold your position over structure, reefs, wrecks, drop-offs, or bait schools without needing to deploy an anchor.

Imagine finding fish on your sounder and simply pressing a button to stay perfectly positioned while you focus on fishing. No anchor ropes. No drifting away from productive ground. Just more time with your lure or bait in the strike zone.

Whether you’re fishing offshore reefs or working river systems with tidal flow, Spot-Lock dramatically improves efficiency and makes fishing easier and more enjoyable.

Powered by Quality Lithium Batteries

Supporting the Minn Kota setup are two FPV 50Ah lithium batteries.

These lightweight, high-performance batteries provide reliable power for extended fishing sessions while significantly reducing overall weight compared to traditional lead-acid alternatives. Their compact design also helps maximise storage space while delivering the runtime serious anglers require.

Hobie MirageDrive 180 Turbo Performance

While the electric motor is an incredible addition, this kayak still retains one of Hobie’s greatest innovations—the MirageDrive system.

Equipped with two MirageDrive 180 Turbo drives, both occupants can pedal efficiently and comfortably. The 180 drive allows instant forward and reverse operation, making manoeuvring around structure, pontoons, and shallow water simple and intuitive.

The Turbo fin upgrade provides increased thrust and efficiency, allowing the kayak to cover greater distances with less effort. Whether you’re travelling between fishing locations or quietly approaching fish, the MirageDrive system remains one of the most effective and enjoyable kayak propulsion systems ever developed.

Find More Fish with Lowrance Electronics

Included in this package is a Lowrance Elite sounder, giving anglers the ability to locate structure, bait schools, drop-offs, and fish-holding terrain with confidence.

Modern electronics are one of the biggest factors in successful fishing, and having a quality sounder already installed means you’re ready to hit the water from day one.

Comfort for Long Days on the Water

The Hobie Pro Angler series has always been renowned for comfort, and the PA17 is no exception.

Featuring elevated Vantage seating, ample legroom, multiple rod holders, tackle storage compartments, and an expansive deck layout, this kayak is built for long sessions on the water. Whether you’re spending a few hours in the estuary or undertaking an all-day offshore mission, comfort remains a standout feature.

Easy Transport with Included Trailer

Despite its impressive size and capability, transporting this kayak is simple thanks to the included trailer.

No roof racks. No heavy lifting. Simply hitch up and head to your next fishing destination.
