I would guess that many like the stability and ability to stand up as well as the space of the PA's.

Outback is good too and lighter than the PA's but can't stand up.

Revolution is a faster boat but not as much deck space.

What Hobie do you own and are you happy with your kayak or do you wish you bought another kayak?

I guess the best thing would be is to own two kayaks for different applications.

My first kayak was a OK Prowler, no more than a year after buying the OK I purchased a new Outback from OEX-SB. Fast forward four years.......I'll be the proud owner of a 2014 PA 14 in just a few days. Why a PA? Basically, because of what Tony said but I'll have to admit that Tony's numbers are wrong, he said 99% but I believe its more like 99.99%.
