The Hobie Revo 16 is an awesome touring boat! It tracks well, is fast and handles rough water with ease. My regular boat is a fiberglass sea kayak and I've mostly relegated that to skill sessions and use the Hobie for touring instead. That said it is worth pointing out a few issues that I have run into:
1. The Hobie is heavy, and loaded up with kit, really heavy! The scupper cart is great, but it is a pain to get the boat onto it.. basically make sure you do that before you load up any kit. When paddling solo this is actually the biggest problem I run into. I can easily get my boat down to the water on the cart and then get it off the cart, but now I have a dilemma. Off the cart, the fully loaded kayak is almost impossible to move around on land so I need to get at least some of it in the water and up on some foam blocks to protect the transducer. Now I have to leave it there and go take my cart back to the car and hope the boat doesn't float away. If I'm lucky there is something I can tie a bow line to, but more often than not I just have to run fast
The same applies when landing somewhere, without the cart, it is really hard to pull the boat up the beach, especially if I need to protect the transducer which means using blocks underneath.
2. Floating seaweed is the nemesis of the Mirage Drive! Seriously it is terrible! I'm just talking about seaweed floating on the surface, not on the seabed in shallow water or such. The worst part is that it is actually quite hard to notice the drive is fouled, it doesn't impact paddling much, however I can see it instantly on my gps as I will lose a knot on average. So basically anytime my speed drops down I have to stop and pull up the drive and remove the seaweed. It only takes a second, but it is not fun to do in rough water.
3. The sailing kit is a lot of fun but it's not going to replace peddling in most cases. I find that on a reach I can get a knot or two out of the sail, but I am still peddling, just not as hard. Although the energy I would be using peddling is now being spent on trying to stop the boat keeling over
I could also just suck at sailing though.
