Larry,
A consideration you need to make is the tradeoff of speed over stability since the Adventure is narrower than the Revolutin and Outback. I have the Outback and I weigh 270 lbs. I know you're a big guy too, and a lot taller than I. Yeah, it's slower but for fishing, speed may not be the number 1 consideration. Trolling speeds are very slow, so you only need speed to get to your areas. Once there, you're not moving too fast. Just my $ 0.02

yeah Larry, make sure you test out anything before buying and at least sit in it and see how it fits, you need to be comfortable or you will be in pain pretty quickly out there. I don't have a hobie, but a lot of the real kayak sharpies around these parts swear by them,

BigBo is gonna let me test his yak! It sucks because I can't get a test drive in a Hobie! Nobody offers that?? If anyone out there has a mirage drive at least 13 feet long and would not mind letting me test drive it....I will toss them a couple plugs for their courtesy??

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
