BTW D, not sure which of your yaks has issues but Hobies' plastic is much thicker than OK. You can usually see the gear in OK's yaks through the plastic.

No offense, but I have a T13A and a Revo.  I am not re-visiting this issue.

I have a fleet now for the time being... picked up an adventure today from Dan at NW Hobie.  Had a great time testing  the Revo and Addie, I basically flipped a coin I really loved both kayaks.  After moving around with the mirage drive not sure I am going to use the Trident 11 anytime so, might just need to man up and sell my little girl.

I am on vacation and think I know what I am doing this week!

actually, that's not a bad start on a good, varied ability fleet. your choice, but personally i'd hang on to both of them.

Sounds like you have a smart coin. I was also debating the adventure or revolution. I went with the adventure and so glad I did. The longer Hull is very nice out in the Puget Sound.

I'd agree with WR. There will probably be times when you want the smaller yak. Flexibility is key. It's also nice if a friend or family would like to give it a try with you.

Keep both yaks.  You'll have friends who want to fish with you.

Whenever you start thinking what other people think, you stop thinking.

Funny my wife says the same thing!

Took  the adventure out yesterday on Lake Sammamish to get a few hours testing the yak.  Very fun, amazingly fast!  Covered about 2+ miles with very little effort.  I really like it and cant wait to start adding fish finder and pole holders etc.
