I can't deside between a Hobie Revo or a Malibu Stealth 14

I saw the Stealth for the first time at the boat show the other day. I have to say, the Hobie design folks could take a few pointers from some of this model's features. I love the side hatches and the center bait tank setup.

As many have pointed out, reaching back to a stern mounted tank can be a pain. Similarly, the "black hole" that is the current center hatch setup on the Hobie can be frustrating at times when something you put in there slides away and out of reach.

I spoke to one of the Hobie factory guys at the show and shared with him my wish list for the Revo. While he politely acknowledged my comments, I got the feeling that no major changes would be coming soon.

Maybe we should take a different approach and lobby the makers of the Stealth to add a peddle option.

I am curious when the patent runs out on the "mirage drive"
and what we can expect from malibu, ocean and wilderness then?

for now i will Paddle my Trident and have occasional episodes of peddle envy


by the way that stealth is pretty trick... look at Kiyos post

It will be real hard to decide between those two and iam curious to know why the Stealth 12's not in the running ?

Anyway re putting your fish somewhere on the Hobie,,some of the lads Down Under use insulated fish bags that velcro onto the front,,its just a matter of unzipping and slide them in,,they can take some fairly hefty fish.
