People who bought Sea Hawk miss one great card because impatience.
You will see how Hybrid look inside case compare to Sea Hawk.
And EVGA offer Hybrid for fair price, at least for USA market, for EU we will see.
But 729$ is really competitive price. Cheaper than Classified and both have custom PCB and 8+8 pin and same clock.
But Classified look extreme well through Window Side panel.
LED Logo on black background with 4 small screws from both side on metal surface look better than ever. 

And the Sea Hawk isn't a great card?
 
I installed my Sea Hawk last night. In the default OC mode the boost clock immediately jumped to 2012MHz stable and after about an hour the temperature settled at about 50C. No overclock yet and with only 1 8 pin power connector. No coil whine and the pump is silent.
 
I don't stare at my card when I'm playing a game. lol But the Sea Hawk blends in well once installed in my opinion. 
 
I understand that you like EVGA, so do I, but the wait was starting to get ridiculous. Originally we were told the Hybrid was to be available at the end of June and here we are on the cusp of August still waiting. Good luck trying to get one once they are released. You can always buy one for $1500 on Ebay once the snipers get them.

Was looking for your post with OC Mode :)  During the Unigine Heaven benchmark test, my Sea Hawk X had exact same push of the button OC mode of 2012MHZ.  During both 1K and 2K testing, didnt see the temp go over 47C.  Fan speed stuck at 33% or 1100 RPM.  I dont hear anything.
 
Was a bite in the butt to install.  Not enough space for both fan and radiator to lay flush with back fan opening.  Did a push/pull setup so the radiator sits on the previous fan I had in the back.  Laying flush would not fit.  Next time, bigger case.
 
Cold and very quiet video card.  Turned out well for me.

I'm very happy with mine too. I've been fiddling with fan rpm speed(radiator fan) to see if I can find that sweet spot for temperature and sound. I've settled at 67%(1000 rpm) which gives me a nice balance. Keep in mind I'm using a Cougar CFD120 fan which is very quiet.

I have to set a hard cutoff for waiting for this unicorn. The end of next week is it -- if there aren't EVGA Hybrids available to purchase on 08/12, I'm going for the 1080 Seahawk. I've held out as long as I possibly could at this point.

I really don't understand you... You should wait only one month. This is funny how some people are impatient.
I would never bought some thing only because I hurry instead something what I planned except if something bad happen and first option.
No matter on product, TV, card, graphic card, gun, compound bow, skate board, cell phones, ... nothing. 
If I see something and choose that few days mean nothing to me. Sea Hawk is launched earlier because reference boards only different BIOS...
You should bought EVGA GTX1080 SC and Hybrid and it's same... For first custom card EVGA launched FTW, and Classified/Hybrid as second wave.

Without boring everyone with the details, I have my reasons for needing a quiet/cool GPU. Let's just say that air-cooled is not preferred in my particular scenario. I could have purchased the 1080 Seahawk at least three times now, and every time I said to myself, "No, it's only a little longer for the EVGA." Well, like many others here, that time has come and gone. The Hybrid has the extra power connector (not useful at this time) and will be ~$40 cheaper than the Seahawk, but that's it. The clocks will be the same. I love EVGA products and their support, but my patience has expired.

What are the OC results for a 1080 Hybrid and temps.

They are delayed because EVGA is making improvements to the shroud.
 
 

OC results will depend from luck, temps will be probably in range 50-65C depend of game, fan speed, resolution, ambient temps.
Now is summer and usually over summer temps of hardware are 3-7C higher.
Seahawk is nice card but not fit in my interior.
Actually Hybrid is closest to my imaginary plan even from period when I planned black motherboard.

I'll probably just go with a 1080 Classy and put a water block on it.

Look what finally dropped in at work today....straight forward company took 4 damn days.
Cant wait to go home and install it.
