Hobie Mods

[blondterror]

The 2014 Revo comes with a new seat design that can be set at different heights and is much drier than the older design but the Center of Gravity is higher so you need to be more careful. I have an older Revo and I take it out in some crazy weather conditions and have never rolled it by mistake.

Many Hobie fisherman wear Kobatat pants instead of waders. They allow you to wear shoes or booties for extra warmth in the cold weather. There are a few very hard core Hobie fisherman who (Slappy a Arlington MA guy for one) fish all winter long in the salt wearing Kobatat lowers and dry tops.

I have the outback ,, a little wider ,, but do you use the scupper plugs ? I do not , The kayak will hold water and puddle with them in . No scupper plugs and the water runs right out .

Unless you are a full figured fisherman (285#) like myself and if I don't plug the rear scuppers under the seat, the water comes right in. I do keep the front scuppers by my feet open though. Normally I can keep my butt dry, but my lower legs get wet.
