I have 2 outbacks. I have no problem loading them on top of each other on the top of my Explorer. I am 6'-3" 220 pounds
I have chronic low back pain and have no problems moving this yak.
I take my 2 boys out with me (talk about stability).
Storage: If you watch the Hobie video they store their rods in the front hatch, These are small fresh water rods. I use a home made bait tube that rides along the side out of the way.
The Outback comes with 4 rod holders molded (very handy). The Mirage drive came in very hand yesterday when we were coming back to Shelter Island from the Bait Barge. The current was ripping. If I was using a paddle with kids I would not have made it back. In fact I saw a guy with his kid on a Malibu turn back because he knew hew would not make it against the current.

Take one for a spin.
