Buying a hobie?

[Biggameaddict]

How fast do these things go anyway? Any faster than a paddle kayak?

They are both versatile. You will have no problem mounting fish-finder, other accessories, carry a bait tank, and still have plenty of storage in either yak. How you like each kayak should be the determining factor in which is the best.

They don't necessarily go much faster, but they will allow you to stay out longer than a paddle yak. Your quads are much stronger than your shoulders. You won't get tired as quickly. Being able to go farther and fish longer without getting fatigued= more fish. Hobies are also much easier to deal with when the wind kicks up. Next time there is a crowd fishing in the morning, looks who is still out fishing in the afternoon, or after a little wind kicks up.

I know Andy @ OEX Sunset Beach has demo yaks for both the Revo & the Outback. I'd go see him to take eack for a spin to see what is the best for you.
