Just picked her up, this is one sweet ride!  Will be heading out Sunday for the maiden voyage.  I'll keep this thread active is I move through a few mods over the next few months.  The plans call for:
Sailing rudder (done)
Mirage Drive leash
New Lowrance Elite 4 or 5 HDI install (and wiring/battery/etc.) on RAM mount
Scotty flushmount and Scotty Laketroller downrigger
Rectangle hatch/gear tray
H-bar install

I can feel the presence of great mojo coming off this yak already.  :smt001

Congrats Ben!  I'm going to get one.  I just don't know if I want to go with the Outback or Revo.  I need to make a trip up to Redding and demo them.  I'm anxious to see how the rectangle hatch mod works out.  Be sure to post that mod when you do it.

Sweet yak, love that color.

I just took my Revo 13 for it's maiden day in the salt last weekend at TC. 
The best thing about that seat is after 4 hours of fishing I don't even think about my tired old back.
It's the best mod Hobie has ever developed.  If you haven't spent much time in one yet, you are going to LOVE it.

Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.

You installed that rectangle hatch on your OB?  That looks really cool!!! :smt007  I'm not a huge fan of the round hatches.

Thanks for the props guys!  Did a little testing last night with the Shimano Xtreme Fishing on the Wii.  Yes Bryan, the yak is still front and center in the living room!
Bret, let me know when you want to cruise up, the shop got 32 Hobies in, plenty of Revos and Outbacks to play with.  Also got a PA17, it's a fricking BEAST!
Al, haven't installed the hatch yet, but it's on the to-do list.  The placement/spacing looks perfect though with the new flatter deck space.
Looking like Jones Valley on Sunday if anyone wants to join in.  :smt001
