I took the family to del Valle today you know family time and stuff.well near the end I told my wife I wanted to try out a revo at the yak rental cause I was considering getting one.so I took a 13 revo olive color I told them I wanted to use the turbo fins.they said ok cause no one ever rents the pa over there.so out of the gate once I got it dailed in I got on the peddles pretty hard and it pretty fast.but I notice the water in the seat was pretty bad after some time I stop and check the drain plugs.yep they was closed.so after I opened it it was a little better.but if your in chop the seat gets wet.I always wonder how bad the term"swamp ass" was well now I know.anyways short story long I was rounding one of the bends and seen this couple at the shore line.as I was cruising by I guess they didn't see or here me as I was paddling by the lady was topless :smt003 she just stood there then her boyfriend sees me then tells her.then she looks up and see me and cover herself with her arm.I guess the olive color and the quietness of the yak made them not notice me until I was in there line of sight.
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

We love pics!   :smt003
A while ago I was at Silver Lake in my PA, I noticed a lady in a bikini walked away from her group to relieve herself, she made sure she hid herself from her group but she was wide open to anyone on the water, she never saw me or heard me on my PA (olive color).  No, I did not get pics either............ :smt005
What did you think of the Revo, Vince?

Vince, I'm also interested in what you thought about the Revo. Did you get any boat wakes to hit the stern while you were underway to see if it was the same? Damn boyfriend......ruined your 'nice' view.  :smt003  jim

It was like what you said a couple of times it seemed like it almost went sideways.especially the first time when I wasn't ready for it.kinda scared me then I remember this must be what salty was talkin about.

I thought it might be similar. The water in a swell or wake pushing on the rudder.
