Mr. Miller,

Do you think it would be possible to make a forward hatch insert for the revolution and other kayaks in the line? Sure would be nice to keep my fish in. You could sell them in parts catalog. Sure would like one or two of them.

Worth considering!

I don't use my Revolution to fish, but I've seen the insert in the Pro Angler. I'd like a bin like that because it would prevent things from shifting into hard to reach places. The best thing about that bin is the flexibility. If you want, or need the space, you take the insert out. If you want things to stay put, you can put the bin in. So count my non-fishing vote on this piece too.

Compartmentalized, 2 compartments in the tray; to ice down fish in one section, and a beverage/24 pack? in the other ... the compartmentalization/segmentation ridge/devider can be reinforcement for strength. Gasketed top and bottom of the lip so it makes the hatch fit tighter ...

My Outback needs one also.

Please advise price with and without the 24 pack.

Yeh an offical front hatch soft cooler for each model would be terrific. I would be all over it. Watertrail gear (Native) make a bag that fits perfectly in the front hatch of the Revo, but it can be hard to find. One that would be easily accesible made by Hobie would be perfect.

I dont mind the taste of fish beer....especially the Mahi flavoring.... :wink:

A nice idea would be to make it in such a way that it would be quite long and can be tilted to fit into the bow area.
This would allow the storage of longer fish....the PA version is much too short for anything I catch offshore.
I have an Adventure by the way.....
I'd like to see something in the 40" length if that can workout.....and insulated of course.

Also, a Revo version along those same lines would be nice as well since I have two of those too.

I'm for the front hatch insert as well! It would be very handy to throw a bag of ice in the hatch at the beginning of the day and then store your catch without having to worry about carrying a cooler.

Matt,

Any decision on the hatch insert yet?

All I can say is that it is "on the list"... a LONG list of possible projects for the factory.

Still waiting for that hatch insert. Sure would be nice.
