Fishing?

Touring?

Fresh water?

Rapids?

Salt water?

Your strength for loading roof/trailer?

Budget?

May you never have to fish to live, rather live to fish.

Hobie Adventure ticks all of your boxes ...... there are, of course, the fibreglass rockets which are just mind-numbingly quick! Check out neophytes new toy, a thread from a couple of days ago.

Didn't even know the Revo came in a 16'! I've never heard anyone complain about the Revo (except for KingHong, but like boat fish, he doesn't count ;) ) so a 16' will add more speed to an already very competent platform! Good luck.

If you're comfortable with your slayer why not the Propel ? I've been paddling the OC Trident Ultra 4.3. When it comes time for me to trade up (hopefully in the Spring) I'm seriously considering the OC Torque, which is basically the same platform but with the electric motor, and $400 +/- LESS than a Propel or the Hobie 16.

It looks like they've renamed the Adventure to the Revo 16' and created a 'new' Adventure of 16'7".

lol!


 

don't mind Africaster... every time someone mentions Hobie, he is still suffering from the image i burned onto his head... short fat asian dude trying to car-top a PA on a FJ Cruiser...

 

i have a revo 13 in my garage...



did not have much time on the water with it but so far, i do enjoy it... just different... and just used to the utility of having a storage bin tween the legs.


revo is fast... probably my fav between PA and Revo, i'd take revo anytime... but two diff items for different purposes in mind.


Revo vs Ultra 4.3



Ultra 4.3 seems more stable for me... only because my ass is more familiar to the 4.3



Revo is faster... and that was with normal fins



Revo's rudder helps in maintaining your direction...



Ultra 4.3 have the convenience of that large hatch in the middle 



Ultra 4.3 have a more "comfortable" seating and leg position as it is not raised above your hips like the revo when pedaling.



Revo is lighter, although their handles are not well balanced... it is noticably easier to load.


I have a Dorado 2 ordered as well... and that is a different... loooong... story... "sigh"


cheers!

What's the use in having a huge convenient centre hatch if you can't catch fish!!! :D
