I recently purchased an outback after much deliberation. I'm 5'7" and 160. The stability/room were the selling points to me. Though the revo was more agile, I didn't feel it had a lot of space for my gear. Like many here, I'm a fisherman first so kayaking prowess was secondary to me.

Good point on the Outback. I am not looking to break any speed records and it would be nice to have a little more storage on board should I ever do any spearfishing off it. This is sorta a tough choice.

So after spending a bit of time and research mulling over which yak to get, the Revo or the Outback, I said hell with having a small cushion in the checking account and purchased a beautiful olive drab Pro Angler. I figured you can't put a price tag on being able to stand up to pee and stretch out the old back

Now I just need to figure out how to catch some fish. Thank you again to everyone that posted a reply. See you out there.

Everyone I know that has one loves it...

Plus think of all the fish one can stash in that hatch the possibilities are endless. you could cram a baby dolphin in one of those

I did the exact same thing. Went with the PA as well. Plenty of bouyancy to haul my fat ass around.
