So I'm planning on getting a revo...but I haven't actually been in one WITH the mirage drive...just on the floor of the kayak shop with a revo and no mirage drive.

I'm pretty big at 6/4 and 240 lbs...my concern isn't if I'm too big to operate the mirage drive...I suspect thats not a problem. My concern is when I want to paddle (i'm currently a paddler). Will I have to pull the mirage drive out to paddle? Is there enough clearance for my big legs?

Thanks!

It'll fit you just fine,the peddle's adjust and the fins stow up when not used.The drive stay's in place.Hands free is great!!

Howdy Bob,
I live in Brigantine in the summer. Unfortunatley, my revo is too big to get on the Autotrain when I come back in June from Florida :D I'll sure miss it :x
BTW, where's your place in Brigantine ? Don't remember seeing it.

Oh, it's the Root Beer Barrell ! Thanks for the offer !
How do you deal with those Green Heads in summer ? They make fishing the bay unbearable. When I had my boat in Brigantine I would only fish the ocean side of the bridge or in the ocean just to avoid them !
