    fishing from a Hobie Adventure?

    due to family, i'm considering a 2nd pedal yak. i love my outback but a friend suggested the adventure.

    it's less than 28" wide (33 for outback i think) and is 16' long. i expect it would have a lot better 'glide', speed, long-distance ability.

    has anyone here ever pedalled one? fished from one, considered it seriously?

    i've noticed some guys switched from outback to revo - do you feel as safe/stble in the revo? i've also noticed some guys have switched from outback to PA; i suppose this was due to increased room more so than stability?

    I know one of the guys here traded adventure for an outback due to his desire to have a smaller boat to fish bridges. If you had 2 yaks, there would certainly be a bigger difference between the outback and the adventure which may be to your advantage. on a long paddle the adventure would be MUCH faster and cover a lot more ground. The outback, of course, is a great fishing platform.

        i'm pretty sure it can't replace my outback entirely but i think i need to try one in real life to see if it has a place in a 2-boat household. thanks

          Chexone has the 11 foot Revo- it is fast, nimble, light-weight, and seaworthy. If you are looking for a second yak for a family member in peddle yaks, consider the Revo-

            Ask Joe (Comeonfish) why he switched from an adventure to a revo. He could give you great insight on fishing from and Adventure!!

                You might want to check out Youtube. I know there used to be some pretty cool vids of guys fishing the AI.
