Congrats on the new ride,yes the revo is the middle of pedal and paddle.sorry but not a fan of the color.

On a different note,your front tie down,could you share some info on it?
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

Made the hood loops out of old strap's, bolted to fender bolt under hood.
 Out of sight when not in use, pop hood and pull out when needed.
 Use a hot nail or solder iron to make hole in strap for mounting

This set up works great.  Learned it from the super modder Tote.  I got a little lazy and just tied it to the metal piece next to the bolt.

After years with the same brand, and many other yaks before that, the force of the dark side has pulled me in.
After going over the many choices, positives and negatives, the new yak had to be similar to what I am used to, and must paddle as well as peddle. A little wider (28.5") than my Ultra (28") and similar stability, the choice had to be the Hobie Revo-13. Another bonus is the lighter weight compared to the outback.
And who could ask for a better color
;0)
 
I'll try to add my review after a few trips on the water.

I am also looking for one of these. Where did you purchase it from?
And how much?
Oh don't pay attention to his answer, because he got an $800 discount in the ARW raffle. I'm glad he went with his prize offering.
