Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge - View Single Post

I picked up 2 Revo 11's. One for me, one for my wife. I was strictly looking for versatility. With these I can fish fresh and salt water, lift them over my head (57 lbs. ea.) and put them both on the roof rack. They've been to Montana, Colorado, Lake Mojave, San Diego, etc.

I outfitted one with a couple of Ram mounts for rod holder and fish finder and made a little battery compartment in the bow for the transducer/battery. I'm 6'1, 180 and I do fit in it, but there's not much room left. Stability is OK as I've learned just how far I can lean over.

All in all I could have also gone with the Revo 13, but it's a few more lbs. with the same features. I do admit I'm a little envious when I see the guys in the Outbacks and larger yaks stretching out and even standing.

Hope that helps.
