No such thing as a Revo Classic......Only the old Hobie Mirage which is now the Mirage Classic. You dont want it......Get the Revolution

sorry you are correct! hobie mirage classic

If you can find a Revolution cheap without the drive get it. It paddles pretty well without the drive and you should be able to find a drive cheap later....
Or from what I hear you can get a swim mask and find them all over the sea floor off La Jolla Shores

Possible o8 revo plus about 250 for a drive. 850 - 900 total, sounds like a good deal , right? Anything I need to look for as far as the condition of the boat or drives? I read about the possible cracking in the area of the drive receiver, will look for that. Any other help from all you experienced guys would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt

On any Hobie Adventure or Outback made up to the year 2006 you must check the Drive Well area for any cracks.

Read my post with Pics of where to look, and which serial #'s were affected.

Check next to the cam lock knobs. Ive seen tiny cracks in pre 08's twice.....
Also check with Nate or Drew at OEX Oceanside......They've seen it all in regards to Hobies.....
If you can get a Revo with drive,seat, paddle in good condition for 8-900 thats a steal......
