Hobie 09 Revolution Review
I bought this kayak last year from the local Hobie dealer. I've had it out on some small lakes, decent sized reservoirs and in saltwater. Overall, a great kayak in terms of stability, speed and versatility. There's been a bunch of times that it's been very windy and rough. Other paddle kayaks were making little headway, while the mirage drive on the Revo sliced through that wind with ease. When I did have some issues with the kayak, Hobie and the dealer got them squared away in record time. I can't say enough about the customer service of both. You have to be a little creative about rigging on the Revo. The side rails are fairly tight, but you can get most of what you need in there (fishfinder, rod holder, etc). I would not hesitate to get another Revo if I had to do it again; great kayak!
