Looks like an adventure to me. Love to see what the new adventure looks like.

Just checked with SLH - their expectation was for a new Revo 16 - what they have been given is a re-badged Adventure. Very disappointed.
Everyone who said it is rebadged Adventure is correct.
So the expectation for a new Adventure is ????

Well past the edge, almost at the point of no return.

I tried both the outback & revo at Rod Bendings Inverloch.
SLH do try out sessions at Mothers beach Mornington.

I love my Revo. One of my favorite things.
It is a great fishing platform. Stable, quick and nimble to move around.
They also have excellent stability in all conditions. I've been caught out in some bad weather before and honestly, the way that kayak performed was outstanding.
I have not taken mine offshore to any great extent, but If set up correctly and carefully, I would not have an issue.
You do get a wet arse in any slop...but you can buy gear to negate that issue. Plus new model is getting the vantage seat.
You cant go wrong with a Revo 13 IMO.
Could say the exact same thing about an Outback though. It's a good decision to have to make.
