Hi. I have a 2011 Revo, and don't get me wrong, I really like it. But if I had it to do over again, I might have gotten an Outback. I don't know how big a guy you are, but the Revo fits me size wize. The stability is the issue for me though. It's long, sleek and pretty quick, but she's skinny. Not a lot of space at all on the deck, not too much room for gear. Not sure if the Outback provides any more deck/storage space? Anyone?

Just some food for thought.

I am a wide guy, I had the Revo for a while. Unstable for me but it was very fast. It sat too low on the water. I now have the 2015 Outback (thanks Andy OEX SB) and I cannot tell you what difference it is. It also has more storage than the Revo, specially if you go with the square hatch in the front. I have lots of folks how love their Revos ... most of them are half my weight. .

I'm 5"11 200+ lbs so definitely not a small guy by any stretch, and I've owned both a Revo and an outback. I will agree that an outback have more "deck" space. But fishing offshore in choppy waters with any wind at all, I will take the Revo over the outback hands down. And once you get use to it you really don't miss, or in my opinion need, the extra deck space. My $.02

My folks have a tandem Oasis (same width as Outback just longer) I have a Revo 13 and PA 14. Have fished all 3 and in rougher waters, shore launches or any winds over 10mph I prefer my Revo. Cuts through the waves no problem (beach launching is a breeze) and with the low ride height you spend less time fighting the wind. Just my $.02 Should mention I'm 6'4" 220lbs and the Revo gives me plenty of leg room.

(Still love/use my PA 14 more in ideal conditions)
