My girlfriend and I both have been fishing off Revo 13’s for 5 years. Here is what I did to mount my accessories. I mounted four Scotty splined quick release plates on the vertices sidewalls of the netted storage cavities, two on each side. I then plug in two Scotty rod holders, with extensions, for trolling. I also have a Scotty lake troller downrigger, mounted next to the starboard rod holder, and a lowrance fish finder mounted next to the port rod holder. Everything is in perfect position, and the boat is extremely productive catching 4 lb. Eagle Lake Trout. My girlfriend got me the MD180 drive with turbo fins to replace my original ST drive. Can’t wait to fish with it. PS. I have never come close to rolling this boat in five years, even while enduring heavy winds and four foot chop, coming from all directions, in the middle of Eagle Lake. The boat has great stability, and would take it any day of the barge like outback!
The revo is good for chasing feeding fish, up here in the NE strippers and blues chase the bunker up and down the coast, I can't keep up with my PA14, but the guys in the revos can actually get ahead of them! They are a lot lighter to be dragging across the sand! The revo is good for using just the paddle, for those lakes with a lot of weeds! Best of luck!!
Ty, you both should really enjoy your new kayaks! What I think you are doing . . . by moving over time from big and heavy PAs, then to Outbacks, now to these sleek Revos is you have simply learned you prefer what some might call a finesse kayak. No fuss, grab 2 or 3 rods, know what lures you plan for that trip and carry them in a few Plano boxes, some incidentals . . . and off you go. I think kayaks of this sort get used a lot more than the loaded down, over-accessorized rides where it takes an hour to set up for a trip, an hour at the water to get them wet, an hour to unload them, trailer them and so forth. I look forward to seeing tomorrow's review on the water! Brad
dead on brad.
I think when folks learn how to manage with Revo they get a better kayak and it’s LIGHT!!! I love Revo I’m on number two!
For storage I took one of the screws out of the mesh storage container on the side of the kayak and put a longer screw in it on both sides. I then stretched a piece of paracord from screw to screw inside the hull. This allowed me to add hooks to my tackle boxes and just attach them to the paracord. That way your boxes do not get lost in the hull.
That's an awesome tip. I'll have to try that one.
Just throw some slide track rails down both sides next to your legs. I did that on my 07 Tarpon 140. Works great. I use the scotty bases that attach to the rails. I got a cupholder on one side and a tray on the other. You may want to roll with a rod holder off to the side or some camera mounts.
Variety is the spice of life I feel you Ty
Love the Revo’s!!! Awesome kayak!!
The new boats are looking slick guys!
Would you consider to switch from Revo 13 2017 to OB 2019?
I use to practice jigging in Deep offhore areas... up to 3-4 miles from the coast.
Hey TY- thanks for the comparison- it helped me decide to buy the Revo 13 this past fall. You should do another side-by-side video and include the Compass!
Good idea
Hellow from Greece .Dear TY.I have the hobie sport and i amazed for the ability of this tiny boat in open sea .I think my next hobie is the revolussion 13.Tasos Manolas Athens Greece
Heyyyyyy Greece !!!!
Nice to see ya climbing out of that outback, im suprised that yak isn't in your logo or in your intro song.
You have to be careful of random wakes because if you happen to be reaching back on the left side and a small wake hits you on the right side YOU WILL ROLL! especially if you are loaded up! It's almost the exact size and shape of the Wilderness Systems PAIRadise which I had. and just sold for that reason.
KEEP THE OUTBACK FOR BTB!
"A banana and a bowl of water" 😂 classic.
A good review. I'm looking at getting my 1st Hobie mirage dr kayak ,. My bro was visiting and had this tandem foot pedal kayak and I loved it. Now , I'm thinking for myself a single Revo 13 , because easier to push through the water and lighter to load on the ute...right?
Looking at 2nd hand boats. I believe there was a particular year model to avoid , cracking around the drive hole ... What are the year models to get?
Great channel keep up the great work man..
will do , thx kev!
The Hobie Revolution 13 was my first Hobie now I also have a Revolution 16. You are right about the rudder being just right for the Revolution 13. I put a sail rudder on my boat and it was too much, I think at cruising speed if you cranked it all the way it would flip you. Plus it was harder to pull up into the stowed position when coming to shore. The 13 will turn better than my 16, the 16 with a sail rudder and using a paddle. All the 16 has over the 13 is speed and the 16 is better going into wind chop. I have never been turned over by and wake but I have been out in 3 foot wind chop with the Hobie Revolution 13 it did fine. The Hobie Revolution 13 is so easy to get back into from the water the handles are in just the right place. The first time I practiced I was in a drysuit had a PDF on I kicked my feet to the surface pulled and turned and found myself sitting in the seat. WHAT!! that was too easy. The Revolution 16 the handles are not placed as well and the boat tips up more but I can still get in it OK from the water. Thanks for doing this type of video I found your channel in 2015 when I was trying to make a choice of buying a Outback or Hobie Revolution 13.
all great info andrew! thx for watching all this time... i second that WHAT!!!!!
Do you use both or prefer the 16? Is it noticeably faster than the 13 or not by much?
I put the sailing rudder on my 13 and it went from good turning to great turning. Definitely noticed a difference but not necessary.
/Fish I have the sailing rudder also. The sail too.
I can't get the seat to install on my revolution 13. The right peg will just not attach.
I am very curious to see how u do, i think you will roll BTB. Stay safe and nice video
the hobie revolution is a little faster. but the outback still takes the cake. stability more room to move around .
I have low mount ram mount for my revo
I'm close to an Outback so I can stand up fish in the marsh (I'm in Laffy) but I have a need for speed. I haven't found a boat that's a good marriage between the two that has some type of pedal system. Not getting another boat I have to paddle.
i did get the hobie side kick pontoons... if i want to do a day of standing and sight casting , ill just pop those babies on and blow them up! may be an option for you...small boat u can make bigger!
I was waiting for him to say "I switch up my women every month too"
ty your awesome!! I love your videos you crack me up!! I need to come to Florida and fish with you for the day and get some footage! you seem like a great guy!🎣 tight lines brother!
thx a ton KF. yeah man, just hit me up at tyonthefly@yahoo.com and we will get u on the calendar. booking spring right now!
which one do you recommend me for offshore fishing ? I use to practice jigging technique mostly.
Is Outback that heavy?
outback is all around best option... unless u like speed.
30milesOut thanks for the quick reply. I like Outback but ita a hassle to grab Outback and take it to your own car rack since it's impossible without any assistance. That's the reason why I'm considering Revo over OB since it looks lighter and faster...
What made you pick the revolution 13 over the 16?
i had a tarpon 16 one time... super super awkward to move around
dont do it dont take bananas .. looking forward to see how they perform vs the Outback in the long run
revo 16 or outback for offshore and inshore fishing?
for most, outback.... for me revo with ama kit.. much much faster to chase birds and fight current
Watch out for Bananas!
I'm looking to get into kayak fishing. How easy is it to stand in the Revolution 13?
not for standing at all... no width for feet... very tippy. thats why i had outriggers on mine. even so tho, you cant spread your feet. that boat is for speed... if u like to cover lots of area to go wade or chase birds, that boat is it. mega fast... not for standing at all.
@@30mofishing My local lake is large so I was thinking the Revo would be my best option. I also don't like carrying a ton of gear. Thanks for replying. Nice channel!
its relatively light as well as fast. cuts a chop with the sharp nose it has... may do the trick.. also look at the compass. it has a revo nose. ps... I'm selling a like new revo right now. hit me up at tyonthefly@yahoo.com if interested.
There's no difference from the model of 2015 that I'm using.That's a good kayak.
i cant see stepping down to a revo, outback or pa for fishing
Kayak question---just bought a very well used Ocean Kayak Prowler 12'9" and it needs a seat...any suggestions? Thanks for all y'all do...God bless!
surf to summit
Thanks for the reply, seems like a lot of folks would agree with that. Y'all take care...
You never bring Poseidons yellow middle finger of doom out on your boat.

Would a 13 yr old around 5 foot kid be able to use these?
sure! you can set the pedals for different sized folks... ive had a 10 year old in an outback before.
Thanks!
Please do a review on your new Revo, I don't see your wife using hers much?
Will you be going back to the outback?))
will do.... love mine... if u watch or episode (how theresa pee's in her yak) vid u will see the only reason theresa has not switched over.
Do you have any outbacks for sale
no sir...
How's the standability since it so much narrower?
Unless you want to go swimming don't stand up. I can get away with standing in my Tarpon on flat water in glass conditions but even then I can't fart while I'm standing.
plenty stable for me at 5'11" and 193lbs. i keep seat in high position in the marsh all day, no prob. i can stand if its calm... gota be super careful tho...
they look fast.
Dude says he brings a banana on a fishing trip heck no 😂
Did I really just hear extra weight for the rudder?!?!?! What 2.2oz? LOL
not sure if its 2.2. but i can tell u this... its alot heaver to pull up with the pull string than the standard rudder... it all adds up. pick up a rigged 2017 outback and then pick up a old outback. all the new stuff puts alot more weight on.
30milesOut I was joking around, and I am pretty sure you got that. But most of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to respond. That actually means a lot. I have watched numerous videos of yours and appreciated them. I am about to buy my wife a 2017 Outback. She has used the older Revos, I have a Slayer Propel. But none the less, you now have a new subscriber.
What!!! 1st comment..... LOL
NO BANANAS!!
not sure what the banana fuss is about... i have always used bananas and boiled eggs as paddle power... still catch fish !
It's an old superstition. Boats carrying bananas had to travel fast, so guys trying to find over the side of the boat weren't successful. It's carried over. I don't usually subscribe to it, but better safe than sorry! :-)
cool story
The way you like to try other things I hope you’re not married 😳
