New in Seattle

Hi, my name is Joe.  After years of nagging my dad to take out our powerboat fishing, I realized a kayak would be the perfect platform for lakes, Puget Sound, and eventually the ocean.  I haven't purchased a kayak yet but am set on a Hobie. I've demoed an outback and plan on demoing a revo 13 but I still have to decide whether I buy a '16 at a close out price or wait and pay full price for a '17.  I can't see myself using reverse a whole lot but it might be nice to correct mistakes. At almost 16 I hope to have a lot of kayaking in my future.  I know the final decision is up to me but any and all opinions are asked for.

Hi Chromer. Welcome to the forum. A member has a 2014 for sale. I know this boat it is very well kept and would be a cheaper way to go if money is any kind of challenge.
His handle is ReelMccoy.
