Would the revo 16 effectively be that same as the old Adventure with the exception being the seat and GT drive? Any differences in handling and stability between old Adventure and revo 16?Yakass wrote:Believe it or not, I haven't (I will get to it). I think it will paddle OK, but not as well as the original. I think it's going to pedal just fine, but I think in most conditions the old one might have the edge. The new one will be far more stable though. If I had to choose one or the other just for solo hull use it would almost be a tough call if not for that comfy new seat

Keeping it real right there, thanks for that. I might pick up a 2015 sometime soon. Need a 2nd AI
. I have friends and family taking turns visiting here (so multiple yaks is always nice) and they yak fish as well, just not with Hobies, it'll will be a nice change for them and they can take a crack at the AI's.
