Hobie Revo 13
I owned one of these kayaks for a short while. It wasn't for me.
First, it was about the slowest kayaks I have ever owned. The Mirage drive is nice for the hands-free aspect, but not great for efficiency. Also, the Revo 13 is a heavy boat, and there have been many problems with hull cracks.
I did hear that it handled poorly without the rudder and paddled terribly. I did not see this. Handling with the rudder up was OK, and it paddled about as well as I would expect for a boat with these dimensions.
Stability is fine. Surf handling is mediocre.
My rating overall would be good, but not great, at least for the way I fish.
