I am 6'6" tall, weigh 225, and have a 36" inseam. Will I be able to fit and pedal comfortably? This has been tough info for me to get. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do not see much difference between Revos 11 and 13. Larger differences would be between the Outback and the Revo 11.
I use Revo 11 in rivers, lakes and dams where there are obstacles and aerial or submerged haze or difficulty of access.
I use the Outback for fishing at sea or freshwater without obstacles and without difficulty of access.

Your options are limited. Revo 11, 13, 16, Sport, Outback, Oasis and Outfitter do not have long enough cockpits.

For comparison, the man pictured here is your height -- this is how he fits in a standard cockpit:

The Pro Angler 14 should work for you, possibly the inflatable I-12s. There may be others -- when you go to look, bring a tape measure to check the relative length of the back of the drive well to the extended seat position. Be sure to have a demonstration before you buy! 8)

PS. If you find a good fit, let us know what you end up with!

Since I sort of high-jacked this thread I might as well continue with questions on buying a Revo. My next question is when to purchase? I am going to get 2017 model, but if I wait a few weeks until the 2018 model is released (apparently that happens late August/early September), will the dealers be allowed to discount the 2017 models at that time?
