Hobie Revo 16 review? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The AI hull is pretty similar to the Revo 16 and i use it quite often without the outriggers (akas and amas) or sail. It's a fast hull and that new seat is pretty comfortable. With the longer hull you will find yourself going faster and tracking straighter so it seems much more efficient than a smaller boat....but...I'd gladly give up the extra speed for the comfort and room of the Pro Angler if my use is primarily for fishing. Seriously...if you gain 1mph in speed is it really that important in your days fishing?
