Do you do ocean? Lake? What do you like to target?
That's what I meant when I asked what you like to do

Mostly ocean these days
I go to nph, dp & MDR. Fish for bass and halibut most of the time.
Went to la jolla couple times for WSB & YT but so far no luck
And I went on a islander mothership trip last year for the first time and plan to go every year

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.

Why not the revo 13 . Not too much heavier but I'd assume more stability. I have one and love it. I've had a wilderness system ride as my first kayak and a tarpon 140 as my second. Can't beat the hobies in my opinion. But test the revo 13 before you choose the 11. More stability plus added rigging options.

FYI I'm 6'3" 210

I ended up getting a revo 11
This thing is so light! My daughter can use this when I'm not fishing
I probably upgrade to pa 12 when I get more space at home
Thank you all for yor help!
