I'm considering the possibility of switching from my Malibu Stealth 12 to a Hobie Mirage driven model. In addition to wanting my hands free to fish, I find my Stealth, although stable, is very slow.

I want something that I can car-top alone, even after a long day of fishing. (I suppose not using my arms to paddle should help). But I am ruling out the PAs and the Outback based on weight.

So options would be Revo 11, Revo 13, and Sport.

I weigh about 150, but I'm 6'2" with 34 inch inseam (i.e., I have long legs).

From a weight capacity standpoint, it seems like any of the them would be fine.

I know the longer boats should be faster, but with the Mirage Drive, I'm not sure I am worried about that. Should I be?

I would assume the other reason to get a longer boat would be that it will do better out in swells (i.e., LJ). Would it feel like i was in a washing machine to be out at LJ in a Mirage Sport?

What else am I not thinking of that argues for one model or another?
