The Quest 13 is Hobie’s version of a budget-minded fishing kayak that still delivers optimal performance that most seasoned anglers expect from the brand. Unlike the Mirage lineup, the Quest 13 doesn’t feature the highly-touted foot pedal system. However, that doesn’t mean that the kayak doesn’t offer great performance and plenty of features that make it a solid deal for any serious angler. This kayak is ideal for those looking to have something that offers most of the great features commonly found in a Hobie at a slightly lower price than the Mirage line.
