what one to buy - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have the outback. Small so I can turn in the bay and get into the small spots but I can go out to the kelp to. Roomy for the gear needed out on the water.

Had both. No difference except more room on outback. The whole thing about speed of the revo..........BS.... not much if any difference there.

Possibly, the Rovo a little better slicing through the surf, maybe.

Revo gets my vote

Great question. I'm looking into a hobie myself right now, and wanted some info on what owners of them thought

Like any kayaks, hobie have their good and bad.

Had a Navigator, outback, and revo (plus a bew others). If you dont think the navigator has enough room, you will not be happy with the revo... That boat has even less usable deck space than the Nav.

Had outback as well, if going with a Hobie, I would take that instead.

I am one of the few that went to a Hobie, then went back to paddling. I started off paddling for a few years, then went peddling for a few years, now back to paddling.

I do miss the hands free fishing of Hobies, but do not miss the extra weight, extra gear, extra maintanence of the drive and rudder, tricky launch and landings, storage issues of Hobies.

Just curious, what kayak got your vote to replace a Hobie ?
My guess.... a Trident 15 ?
