i was thinking of switching to pro 12 . i have revo 13 and had the outback already. i weigh 170 , so i estimate around 250 lbs with gear . the revo is great yak , probalbly the best all around. but with the weight i am carrying , i was thinking of something with a little more displacement. any inputs or suggestions . i think if you were going ultra light , the revo would be awesome . but since , i am a beer drinker , and carry a 12 pack and, or over the hill, i feel sluggish after 4 -6 hours on the water . is this normal ? would switching over to pro help me carry more beers?

anyone with similar experience with trade off and have input, i would appreciate it . thanks.
