O vs R
I have an Outback and for a short while a Revo. My thoughts are as follows:
The Outback:
Pros;
+has a larger, more comfortable cockpit
+A bit more stable
+DRYER, no wet ass all day
+Temp storage for food tackle etc...(side trays)
+Rod holder positions (no need to add any ram mounts etc...) All are flush.
Cons;
-Paddling sucks, sides are high, doesn't track well without the rudder ( in kelp).
-high sides catch a bit more wind (not too big an issue)
-A little slower than the Revo, about 15-20%
-Hull slap in choppy conditions, Not too big a deal. (I stay dry)
The Revo:
Pros;
+Longer faster easier to paddle
+Much less hull slap, WET
Cons;
Im not huge but I take up most of the cockpit, 6'2" 190 lbs.
-The water bottle hits my leg (annoying)
-The rudder control is slightly under my leg (annoying and sometimes hard to get to)
-WET ASS all day. very F' in annoying
-Not quite as stable but still very good
Much Smaller area for storage of tackle, food etc..
These are just personal observations. Others may agree or disagree.
I kept my Outback !
Sold my two week old Revo! Last week.
