Few questions about the Revolution 16 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Ojos_raros · 06-20-2016, 05:13 PM

after 13 years on a Tarpon 160i, Im thinking about upgrading to a Revolution 16. Couple questions first... accessing the front hatch to lay down big fish inside is pretty easy or any issues there? Can that hatch hold say 2 50 lb sea bass? will 8 ft rods fit in the hatch? Also if using the kayak without the drive, does extra water enter the seat area? About the seat, looks like it sits higher. I know if I use a cushion on my Tarpon, it becomes more unstable. Is the same true for the R16? Lastly, how fast can you go at a comfortable rhythm? thanks for any and all info!!
