major advantage using the largest muscles in your body. i have an outback. new at kayaking myself. the outback is very stable ,and a good yak all around. revo is a little bit more narrow and longer , which would probably give it a little bit more speed, but less stabality. less load capacity also. hobies are not the greatest in the surf, but with the peddals ,you can accelerate alot quicker to get through the danger zone. hobies can go out in windy conditions, that the average kayaker couldnt endure . hobies are expensive , but worth it. lots of accessories. if you can afford the extra to dish out , well worth it.

I have fished Moro a couple of times , but you forgot to mention one thing "It's COLD" ....
 I fished Halibut in the bay and did well (Even did the bay in a float tube..guy in a skiff said i was nuts...maybe ) I think either one would not be bad but when it's rough it really is..rough..Get something you very comfortable in, and practice in the bay and for gods sake "THINK SAFETY" water temps are brutal even in the summer.. 7 mil hooded wetsuit  is a spring suit.....

If you're new to yakking I would strongly suggest you start off within your budget. I started with a Prowler because I wasn't sure if I would like the sport, if I didn't like it I'd be out $800 and not $2000. This past Saturday (about a year after I bought my prowler) I took the plunge and bought a Hobie Mirage Outback, wish I would have bought it sooner but still have no regrets that I bought my Prowler first, it was a good starter kayak. One other thing, whatever you do please DO NOT BUY ON IMPULSE.....I saw my neighbor do it and he lost his *ss off. He used the kayak for one fishing season and half of a hooping season and that was that. He invested over $1400 and sold his kayak for $700 a few months later.

Of the 2 kayaks you mentioned, the Trident is probably better in the long run for your location. The ability to store your rods inside the yak is a great benefit for rough launches and landings.

Second that on the Trident. I run a Prowler trident angler 16 out of there to the rock with no prob. Nice and stable. Everything stores nicely for the bumpy wet ride past the breakers. Have also surf lauched at cabria and cayucus with ease. Get your first one good and cheap whatever it is though.

Prowlers do the same as all kayaks in the surf, they usually wash to shore..
....after the yard sale....
