I went from a Navigator to a Revo some time back and it seemed a little loose to start but got used to it quickly. Have since have been in some pretty nasty stuff - hooked up and never had an issue. Being able to peddle and follow a fish, stay heading into the wind or drift as opposed the paddling while trying to fish is well worth any tradeoffs. I've since been on a few of the more stable platforms yaks and they seemed cumbersome and heavy.

Only concern I'd mention with a Revo is surf launches - I've launched quite a few places thru the surf up and down the coast and anything over a couple of feet and the Revo punches thru a cresting wave and with the bow configuration, doesn't necessarily ride up and over it - you will get a face full. Make sure the drain holes under the seat are open when you do - - -
