I'm usually in the lowest position . I can not speak for the new revo , but on the outback they compensate for the seat height by placing the seat well deeper in the kayak which keeps your ride height fairly the same . I would imagine , in the highest position on the revo it would be more unstable . Too much , I would think? The kayak is pretty tippy in my opinion .

There are a couple reasons I always ride high, and one is vision. It may not seem like much but sitting a couple inches higher makes a big difference on the horizon.
