What would be a tough retrofit is the cutouts in the hull where the handles go, that's allows you to get your hand closer to the center o' gravity when loading.  Advantage 2012.

I added 2 black handles for $12 since 2009.  One behind the seat and by the hatch. Got the idea from the bigwatersedge.com  Real easy to move around.

Those handles look like they would be a great addition.  I have Hullivators and the location of the handles on the Revo make them useless for lifting the yak into the cradles.  Handles on the deck surface would make it much easier.  Thanks for the pictures.

I agree, that's a GREAT idea.  Additional bonus is that it looks like you can clip lanyards to gear to those handles and keep from losing stuff in the likely event that I go over.

I used rivets for the handle behind the seat because there is no access.  I used bolts and washers for one by the center hatch.   Don't get OK handles, they are junk.
