If they could update the Revo with an Ocean Kayak style hull, that would be the best upgrade by far! 

Exactly.  If you could put a Mirage drive in and OK Trident 13, you would damn near have perfection.

The shape of the Trident is great but the plastic that the Hobie is made of seems much more durable and rigid than the plastic ocean kayaks are made out of. It’s pretty easy to put an accidental bend in an Ocean kayak, especially during the warm season.

Both my natives are very thick and durable, not a mirage drive but I have never bent a “prop mast”  ;)

Fast forward to last Saturday. I got all geared up for my MA9 debut, everything set, headed up to Edmonds from West Seattle. Got kayak loaded, carted down to beach, removed cart and pushed off. Something was missing- I had forgotten the drive.

Quick thread hijack... It must have been something about Saturday. I fished Fort Flagler that day, got home, and found my drive missing? Called the park rangers to advise them and was *thrilled* when they called on Sunday to let me know they found it. Whew! I’ll be packing it first from now on.

Hijacking your hijack, how did you find the current out there. Probably just timing but the time I tried there was a battle...super fast current. It can be a fishy spot for sure though (East side at least).
