Hobie Adventure-First Impressions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have the outback due to my insatiable habit of wanting to take everything with me, and spending 3am to 8:30pm shifts OTW. I am 210# 6' 4" with long legs. I have to use the 7 setting because of my leg length, and I also find that the drive bottoms out with a full stroke. I have adjusted my peddle stroke & I don't notice it, but then it also means I have lost alot of efficiency. The outback with half a peddle stroke still cruises at around 4 mph, as oppossed to my last kayak (FND) which at full sprint mode went about .000000001 mph
