@ RedSled - haaaaaaaaaa; that's pretty funny (fetching kids). Those are all great things to hear (about the Torque), thank you so much.
@ Ox - no, no health issues, I'm actually in pretty decent shape, especially for a 58 yr. old; but I hope to average 10 - 15 miles when I go out and I want to have a backup in case I get fatigued; I've never paddled before; I never want to be in a position where I'm out 5 miles and too spent to get back in. I'm actually really looking forward to paddling, for the exercise, but my main interest is fishing, so I'm looking seriously at the Hobie Revo 13 and Outback, as well as the Torque. I don't know that I'll know which best meets my needs until I actually try them. As you can see, I'm pretty fond of the alternative propulsion options (MirageDrive or Torque Drive); I like having options
