I'm considering either the new Passport or a used Revolution 11. With your experience with the Rev 13, how much slower, roughly do you think the Passport would be? I realize it's shorter and narrower and therefore slower.
Welcome to the forum!
This is a little bit like deciding between a new Volkswagen and a used Cadillac. The Revo 11 has faster cruise and sprint speeds and moves through the water quieter than the Passport. Both boats are faster with Turbofins. The Revo 13 is faster than both. With the optional large rudder, the Revo 11 also turns better at slow speed. It has has 3 hatches instead of one, mesh pockets for additional storage, and better bottle holders. The 2015s and newer come with a Vantage seat, which is superior the Passport seat, although the older (2011 - 2014) "wet" seat gives you a slightly lower center of gravity. If you're looking for a used boat, Turbofins, large rudder, wheels (cart) included in the price are a plus.
