I've had both over the years, paddle and pedal. From a Cobra Tandem, Tarpon 120, Revolution 13, PA 14, Thresher 155 and a Revolution 16 they each have pros and cons.
Personally, I've been very impressed with my Revolution 16. Its very fast with pedals, but also paddles pretty well considering bottom contour design. I also sail it with good success. Its like shortboarding vs longboarding. There isn't a right or wrong, just a preference, based on what you do and want to achieve. |

Most everything has already been said. I have owned a Hobie Outback since 2009 and love it. Wish it had the new Vantage seat but have modified it to work. Personally, back problems have caused me to do alot of changes and to even create a new project with a better seat and the ability to stand once in a while to extend my time on the water. I am keeping the Hobie but doing a combination paddle/electric motor Big Fish kayak. I just modified a nice bass fishing seat to help out. Some guys are never happy!

I've owned one of each and ill take the peddle every time. I saved and worked my ass off for 4 months to get a PA12 and will not go back for saltwater period! I was caught by some high winds and tide one day and every time I paddled quickly enough to make headway against the conditions the kayak would plunge into the next wave. While this was going on watched a PA several hundred yards away on his ipad watching a movie or something cruise right by at a good clip. Went to Fastlane the next day and priced out and decided to take advantage of upcoming fred hall deal. I'll still paddle a kayak for whitewater/river spots but everything else I have found that if swell is too big change location, or go out of the harbors instead, or just stay in the bay.
