Thank you

Great video, realise this was done some time go but would you still recommend the Revolution for general purpose touring medium distances and fishing in rivers, estuaries as well as in the ocean chop? And is there any build quality difference between the two?

Hey mayte great vid just wondering where you got that seat from as I’m looking for one similar to that Cheers Max

I have just brought a hobie mirage sport it would be over 10 years old but never been used. I used it for the first time over the weekend and tipped it twice. I find the stability shit. Very unhappy with my purchase

What bait

The Revo 13 has a number of drawbacks you left out. It may be one of the lightest pedal kayaks, but a 13-foot kayak that weighs 70 pounds (without the seat or drive) is not light. My 16-foot Kaskazi Marlin weighs 48 pounds. That is light. To avoid hull cracking they made the plastic in this kayak very thick, soft and flexible so even though it is heavy it scratches and cuts much easier than most plastic kayaks. It handles extremely poorly without the rudder. You have to battle to keep it going in a straight line. And you can't use the hand-controlled rudder when you are paddling. That means it paddles very poorly. The hatches leak like crazy. Although most kayak hatches leak a little the Hobie is the worst I have ever seen. The warranty is one of the worst of any kayak even though the price is extremely high. These are things you should know.

Does the KU 180 drive fit 2011 hobie PA14? I.E. are the drives backwards compatible?

I've had my rev 13 fifteen years and need to replace my bindings. Is there a video on how to replace them and where to get parts if break when replacing?

the Passport R(otomolded) series has better seat tie down and is tougher than this thermoformed version

I still have my Revo13. Love it. I bought the sidekicks because I like to sail it, I don't use the Hobie sail, I use a 1.4m Sail kit purchased from "KayakSailor Kuvia"

lots of unhelpful comments here, I found it very informative as I am contemplating buying a kayak and have a mazda BT50, so this has shown me how its done and I guess if the Kayak weighs a max of 40 kgs, then you are only lifting 20 kgs at any one time, thanks for the video.

Does the seat get wet at all

We brought the 12' for our youth program, for BIPOC youth and adults to have fun safely on the water.

Nice video mate. Do you reckon it could be happily car topped on a small car? VW Golf with two roof racks, no third bar

Lol I can tell 80% of the used hobie have some issues. But still I ain’t paying a dime for a new hobie at the dealership!!

Hello Rod Ive watched alot of your videos, and i cant seem to get an answer to this question. On the underside of my 2016 revo 13 i have two screw holes brass threaded nuts just before the drive well opening and i was wondering what they are there for? Would you or anyone else have an answer to this? Thx Cliff

top good j'ai le même

Great video, please put a curve on your cap, looks cooler

Good luck de-sliming your net!

Whatacatch

Where can I buy the Rhino side loader and the trolley for Revo 13 ? Thx

Can Revo 13 drive do a reverse movement ?

Great video! Is the Revo 13 suitable for launching at a pontoon? Do I need to tie a rope to secure it before I jump onto it ?

The 2022 models come with the Mirage 180 drive with kickup fins standard, camo comes with turbo fins. That makes it an obvious choice for me, since I transport it on top of my Jeep where the light weight is important!

Thank you thank you thank you good video

I think I would go with a tandem Mirage Outfitter. Easier to get to stuff.

Can’t believe hobie discontinued the 17t what a loss. We should all get together and petition hobie to bring them back.

Do you have video on how to adjust the rudder. My Hobie rudder line needs tightening. Thanks

Isn't your rudder touching the roof of the car?

But we all want to know now is... when can we get the parts to upgrade to the kick up fins?

H as in H rails is pronounced aych, not haych. Always. Definitely.

Bait?

Nice video. Thanks. I'm very new to kayak fishing. I wanted to start fishing in lakes and ponds and then venture into ocean. Is Hobie Revolution 13 a good kayak to start with?

You sir are a strong guy.

As someone that lives in Inverloch Inverloch has changed a lot since this video was shot

Just got mine last week and I’ll put it to the test this Saturday. I’m so excited 😆

What type if seat is that?

Thank you! Super cool you did this to help out second hand buyers!

Holds up V2 and says GT drive? Im confused

In my 2nd hand hobie revo 13 kayak I've found that I've got a crack in the hull where the mirage-drive sits in the kayak. It's just under the bolt that holds the mirage drive. I did a bit of research and it seems it could be an issue. The hull started filling up when I was on the water last time and I used my bilge pump a few times.

Make no mistake these are not considered light weight. 62lb unloaded

At 2:26 he feels it’s necessary to mention dog shit? Oh... okay. Noted.

39 kilo not under 30

WOW WOW WEEEEEEE ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,SHEEEE YOU DID THAT VERY WELL THE ,,REVO 16,,A VERY LONG KAYAK ,,,,,, IVE NEVER SEEN THAT DONE TILL NOW ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, BLOODY WELL DONE ,,,,,,,,,,

Nice kayak. Need to visit your store and test drive. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for taking the time to put this informative video together. Two queries if I may. I've seen a new Hobie called the passport. It looks similar. Do you know the difference? Also, where does this leave the Revo? Meaning, does the Revo still have some role, and if so where does it shine?

can i swap a gt drive to a 180 drive

Great video! At 1:40 mark, you’ve used a standing device to upload your kayak to the roof rack. What was that? Can you please be specificnon the details?

I'd like to see one rigged for fishing

Just received my wife's 2020 Revo 13. Mine is an outback. Big difference in stability. First time I took out the Revo I went over twice. I will definitely lower the seat (i'm 220 lbs) and travel light. Also, I believe if you have a sail it makes it move top heavy and very difficult to turn back over. I am ordering the AMA sidekicks because I don't trust it not to roll over again. I will also recommend the knob for the turning handle. Definitely faster and lighter than the outback.
