Hello all! Just picked up my first hobie (revo) after selling my prowler years ago. Excited to be back on the water! From Los Angeles but have no range where to go just as long as I get to go. Figured I’d start around the harbors then start venturing out.
Things on the to do list:
Fish finder- suggestions?
Do I upgrade the fins? (2010 revo)
Hobie bait tank? Or DIY tank?
Open to any suggestions and would love some feed back on rigging the revo
Hope to link up w/ any of u guys n fish. Tight lines!:reel::cheers1:

Great choice in yaks...!! Very fast and stable since you have had a yak before. You understand how to balance yourself.
Many options for both FF and bait tanks. Depending on your budget.
Yes... First thing to do is upgrade to Turbo fins. If possible...upgrade drives or parts to the GT Drives. Much smoother.
Welcome back...!!! And Congrats on the Revo13. I have had almost every Hobie and always go back to the Revo. I have a 2010 Revo13 and 2012 Revo11.
I fish from Santa Monica Bay to SD.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180318/03d910db2d77ae48f89aef7d77962d88.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180318/dc9f196262bda3e6a0818d7a9563b39c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180318/b9b87d86b0fc154ff36b055b47fd4d9f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180318/9c53fbce674b7c2a647dd59727e5e206.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180318/fab3369a83cc5f7226ac90914e2bc6c7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180318/5e5a55030dbba538bf1204cf00f27e56.jpg

I would upgrade the fins and rudder if you can.
For bait tank, the Hobie livewell works great. A bit noisy but so are most livewells. Can always do a DIY.
For FF, I use a lowrance hook5 chirp. It works great but lately it’s acting up due to bad connections because of corrosion (if anybody got a solution to fix, it’ll be appreciated).
