Best Fishing Kayak: Hobie Revolution 13 Review

[@kdstoffel7574]

Good stuff. I appreciate when a guy knows what he’s talking about and does it in a clear, concise manner. I subbed not too long ago and I’m really getting some great info and entertainment from your channel. Please, keep up the great work. 🤙

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks. I'm not an expert by any means. I'm just a guy who is addicted to kayak fishing and enjoy trying out different kayaks hehe

[@losthorizonfishing107]

I’ve been fishing out of a Revo 13 for the last three years and you are so right about your same distance less effort theory. Also, I prefer standard fins over turbo fins. With the standard fins you can cruise in the 2 to 3mph range all day long. I definitely notice the additional effort required to generate speed with longer turbo fins. To me any speed advantage with turbo fins on the Revo 13 is outweighed by the extra effort required to use them. 🎣😃

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Turbo fins are a must for me. I have had many occasions where the wind (20+ mph) and current drifts me 3+ mph. Not only pedal against to get off the water but to continue to fish until it's absolutely unfishable 😆😆.

[@moljinar]

Love me revo 13. Have used in creeks, rivers, lakes, ponds, estuary and open ocean. Never problem. Never a flip or fall out. Have been using for over 10 years.

[@maldrury8313]

Good explanation regarding speed and stability. Another influence on stability is seating position. Narrow yak's that have low seating positions, and therefore a low centre of gravity, can feel quite stable. Another good point you mentioned is do not lean your head over the edge of your Yak as that is sure to make you flip.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

You are right. I did forgot to mention the seating position.

[@Fishing247]

I learned something about the stability of the kayak in the ocean than in the lake. I always love the footage of the splash of you going out from shore. Awesome scene 👌.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks you Sir.

[@jerry-381]

Well said. Another con to the Revo 13 is ability to store fish when offshore fishing. When I'm offshore fishing I'm mainly fishing for kingfish. Average size I'd say is 42". A 48" long fish bag will barely fit in the rear tankwell and if I was to load the fish bag down with fish the back of the kayak rides really low in the water.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

That is a wonderful problem to have 😁😁. Yeah I forgot to mention the lack of storage.

[@jerry-381]

@@MooMooOutdoors lol yes it is. I put some pool noodle pieces inside my hull under the seat and on each side of the drive well and it drastically increased my storage. I can now fit 5 Plano 3600 tackle boxes in the hatch. I don't carry that many but that's an indication on how much storage that's available in the hull.

[@ryguy11794]

i have a 2018 pa14 and absolutely love it- bought it new. But I am thinking of adding a revo 13 to the shed in a year or so for those days im fishing short periods of time or going in narrow/ shallow creeks where i might need to get out of the water and carry my kayak to continue. great video im glad you like it.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks. PA 14 is a beast of a kayak. I don't know how you guys do it. You must be strong and young.

[@kayakengineer]

Yes! Very good clear explanation. I was between the Revo and the outback and from what you just said, REVO it is. My shoulders and back area also older and need all the assistance they can get. Great Video!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks 😊. Old people problems 😂😂

[@the45er]

As a long time canoeing enthusiast, I appreciate the concepts of primary and secondary stability. My limited experience in surf with my old Ocean Kayak Scupper Pro is that you better not get parallel with the waves regardless of what kayak you're paddling! The Scupper was considered to have reasonable secondary stability but I never survived 5 seconds in the breakers if I let that boat get parallel with the waves! I've ordered an Old Town Sportsman PDL 120 as 99% of my fishing will be in lakes and coastal bays/marshes. And it was $650 cheaper than the Revo!!! Anyway MooMoo, keep up the good work. I've found your videos to be technically accurate and address the right points!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks Rob. Tight lines.

[@shotgunaaron]

Good info Moo. No sale here tho...My 2018 outback is something I'm more than happy with. 12'1" and it fits in my garage. The Revo would not :-(. I bring a lot of gear too and my outback can support it with the wide base and also has the room for it. See you OTW.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I do like 2018 and older Outback better myself except for the hull slap. Your Outback has more of rounded hull shape and newer one are more of pontoon hull shape. I'm got used to not carrying too much gear.

[@YourNextCast]

I am hoping to invest in a nice Kayak at some point. I really appreciate when you give a review because you definitely have a good handle on what is good and what is not. Thanks so much for sharing your years of experience.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks Titus. I hope you get one soon

[@mauricioursine1396]

Thanks for your review! I’m changing from a Compass to a Revo 13, just like you I need all the help I can get to be able to do 8 to 9 hours on the water. I think this is perfect for me 5’9” @ 140 lbs. Thanks again!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

You are light weight. Revo 13 will serve you very well.

[@fishinonthebay]

Thats awesome you get to test all those kayaks. Wish I didn't have a spine injury. I'd probably have one too. 70 pounds is pretty impressive. Looks like alot of fun.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Too bad that you back is not well because it's too much fun.

[@slacktide_angler]

The points you have always made for the Revo made me eventually buy one. If there was anything I wished Hobie did is to make a thermoformed version that's lighter and less prone to cracking under normal conditions..

[@kdstoffel7574]

adrianS “Cracking under normal conditions”? I’ve got the Revo 13 on my short list for next kayak purchase. Is there anything I need to know? At these prices I can’t afford a mistake.

[@slacktide_angler]

@@kdstoffel7574 Hobies in general, have had cracking issues in the scupper areas, the seating areas, and the drive well areas. Some models more prone than others, over the years. I do hear about cracking in general less with the Hobie Revo, so that's why I sprung for a lightly used one. I really don't think you have much to worry about. I commented because if Hobie did convert their lineup to thermoform, I feel they'd have their quality control considerably more consistent.. I'd say search around the internet about which year Revos are the good ones.. I think it's the newer ones rather than the older ones...

[@MooMooOutdoors]

You don't really have to worry about cracking on the newer models. As far as I know, cracking of drive well area is older model issue. Scupper hole crack happens when you use a scupper cart on 2012? and older models that does not have scupper hole reinforcement. I haven't heard about the seating area though. The truth is all brand and models can crack. It is a plastic after all. However, I hear much less of cracking issues with Hobie compare to other brands.

[@BigShticks]

$2.8k translates to $3.2k after taxes. Honestly, if I could have afforded the revo I would have bought one. The price tag was just to steep without all the things I felt I would need. For me that included a fish finder, fish finder mount, transducer mount, battery & box, rod holder & mount, paddle, VHF/UHF radio & kayak cart. It’s crazy how fast the costs stack up after the purchase. Easily an additional $500-600 on top of the purchase price bringing the total cost to almost $4k. A steep & unnecessary cost I simply couldn’t justify for myself or to my family. I believe Hobie to have superior products across the kayak fishing spectrum while at the same time sporting price tags that limit its customer base. Love the content Moo!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yeah, it's definitely a lot of 💰up front but if you use it often and long enough, it's actually not too bad. I spent. If you take good care of it, it will last 10 years.

[@BigShticks]

MooMoo Outdoors I’ve seen Hobies out there still going strong longer than 10 & anything you can use that long is worth it for sure. I’m sure at some point I’ll get there, but the cost of 2 kids in private school & 2 in college, their price point is prohibitive. But who knows, maybe I’ll find a decent used one at a killer price I can’t pass up.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I apologize if I came across as rude. That was not my intension. When are we going fishing? 😁😁

[@BigShticks]

MooMoo Outdoors What? I didn’t take anything you said as rude. It’s going to take a lot more than that to upset me 😂. Ask any one of my patients. As for fishing bro, I reeaaallly want to. Especially anything outside of my bubble. I have zero experience in the bay & beyond in a kayak. Your knowledge & experience would be invaluable. The next 2 weeks are busy for me due to 4 birthdays & camping trips. After that, I’d love to fish with you.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

[@dereksmith7965]

Your explanation on stability is right to the point I just purchase a revo16 but I have a Pro angler14 I can’t count how many times I have been dumped in that thing and then it takes in water quick and it’s so heavy to flip one time I had to swim it in upside down but I agree with you the Revo is The ultimate offshore kayak

Thanks for the review. I plan to get a revo 13 once I get a job. Getting laid off sucks. I was originally going to get the outback but I think paddling for long periods might be tiring on that kayak vs the revo.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Sorry to hear you got laid off. Outback is pretty efficient kayak but Revo is more efficient for sure. The best way to find a perfect kayak for is to demo a couple of kayaks.

[@terp53]

Surf's Up Moo....In the kind of environment that you fish in Stability is key to staying safe and being able to do so with less weight!!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yes Sir. Having a right kayak for the job is safety.

[@bradreid6057]

Great review! I'd just note that the Hobie website lists the Revo 13's seat weight capacity at 275 lbs. at least for the current year model. Oh! And, no listing for a Revo 16 appears on Hobie.Com. I wonder if the 16 has been discontinued? Agreed, though, that the 13 is likely easier to transport and store, still long enough for all the on-the-water attributes that make it a great fishing kayak.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

They may have upgraded the seat to 275 for 2021 Revo. I think they did discontinued Revo 16 which is a shame 😢😢.

[@tony96hulk77]

Very great review! By the way, what do you think if compare with outback? In terms of stability especially in rough water who will be the winner? Actually right now I am struggle in between this 2 models! Tks

[@MooMooOutdoors]

This is very common dilemma, Outback or Revo. This really depends on personal needs and preferences. In rough conditions, I think, Revo 13 is better suited if you are comfortable with not having to rely on primary stability and comfortable utilize secondary stability. How much do you weigh?

[@fengrs]

Revo 13 needs an update like the outback got. Needs gear tracks. I really wish other manufacturers would come up with more competition for the revo 13. Nothing really competes with it. Everyone else is going to 12 ft yaks that are wider. No one else is making an efficient speedy yak. If they update it and make it more torqeedo motor friendly, i would seriously consider it.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I do too want to see other brands come up with a efficient kayak like Revo 13. A lot of people are getting into kayak fishing and most people's mind is set at stable kayak. Manufacturers don't see their is big enough market for something that competes with Revo.

[@CheekyMonkey888]

excellent review, subbed

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Much appreciated!

[@JohnAmes]

Thanks buddy for the great video my friend 👍

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks John

[@corax50]

Moo- Great review. I just discovered Hobie has a Rev 16'- Did you know that length is a factor tin stability just as much as beam width? Also 16', if they keep the same beam- would be a faster boat. But the trade off would be weight and maneuverability.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Hobie discontinued Revo 16 starting this year 😢😢. Revo 16 is 1 inch narrower. A few people say it feels unstable but most of the people I know who has 16 says it's stable enough. Yes 16 is quite faster than 13 but less portable. I really think that 13 hits the sweet spot where is portable and efficient.

[@AffordableWahoo]

Does your revo 13 ever act funky when the drive and rudder are up and you're paddling? Mines tracks like garbage if the rudder is not deployed even when I'm sweeping properly (I still use an OK prowler as well as the revo)

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yes Revo 13 Does not track well. Just good enough for punch through the surf and surf landings.

[@mrb401]

Hey Moo, What are your thoughts comparing the Revo to the Compass, particularly the speed and agility. Just some background, I have a lot of experience with both the 11 and 13 so I’m very familiar. I also have had some time with the OB. 0 time on the compass. It intrigues me due to its simplicity & light weight. A couple of the same reasons why I love the Revos. I suspect the compass is a little slower and less agile? And better initial stability..The lack of the side handles on the compass is a con, though I suppose one could add them. As a side note, yes the 16 has been discontinued for this production yr. A Hobie dealer rep informed me of the news. Agreed, it is a shame. I demo’d one and it amazed me how easy it was to go FAST.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Compass feels very similar to Outback. I want to say equal amount of primary stability and the speed is pretty much the same. Outback is a bit longer but compass being lighter makes up for it, I think. I personally like compass more than Outback because of the portability and simplicity. However, I heard Compass plastic is thinner and that's why it's so much lighter.

If you are 150, Revo 11 is good. Sometimes, it's about how much fish you can carry on the yak. You never know you might have to carry three 40 lb fish on the yak 😁😁. Revo 11 might feel small if you are used to 13 foot kayak. Revo 11 is ocean worthy kayak for sure.

[@AllTheHobbies]

Great video Moo. I would really like to see you do a comparison to the new Old Town Salty. Comparing the Revo 13 to a stand up kayak like the Topwater 120 really shows the differences between different styles of kayak but they really are not made with the same style of fishing in mind. I think that Salty would address all the negatives you had with the Revo and is a much closer comparison.

You said you had to paddle home once when the mirage drive failed. Why did it fail? It looks like a fairly simple mechanism. Are these things prone to issues, especially as these kayaks are soooo expensive?

You can adjust the seat height. Hobie vantage seats are one of the most comfortable seat that I've tried.

You endure hair raising adventures on the often mean ocean, dealing with wind, killer waves, hungry whales feeding nearby while sharing your prime fishing waters, sea lions harassing you so close to your kayak you could touch them, and the ever present possibility, albeit slim, that you may become rent money when landlord Mr. Great While decides its time to collect. You mean to tell me that after all that adventurous drama on which you and your kayak thrive, you have the guts to tell us that you carry your diehard fishing companion through your quiet, orderly, and pristine home via the front door, living room, dining room, den, etc. then outside again en route to the Kayak hotel? But when I think about it, you have to be tough to fish Big Blue in a kayak, and perhaps equally as tough to saunter through the house while carrying your hardcore fishing buddy to its stall.😎

So wordy 😁😁 You should write a novel. When you are an addict, you do whatever to get a fix 😂🤣

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 soft and flexible so 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. Be warned.

70lbs is not heavy, this is easily carryable even without a cart

[@kross1957]

How much you can carry is a personal opinion. There is just no reason for a 13-foot kayak to weigh 70 pounds. And you need to add in the weight of the seat, drive and rudder. It is way heavier than it should be.

Nice review, thanks! Cool kayak, small, but it looks like you can spend the night with a girl in this kayak if that ;)

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I would rather spend a night with a big fish 😂🤣

Hobie Revo 13 is the best trolling kayak on the market. Hobie revo 16 is a bit too long.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

You sacrifice the portability on Revo 16 but gain speed. Anything over 13.5 feet does not fit in my house but if I have a storage for it, I might consider add Revo 16 to my fleet for the ocean.

If you use it enough, it's worth it.
