Classic Outback vs Pro Angler question, hopefully a unique and challenging case... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Two things to keep in mind on the new outback and 360, their drives are more recessed than other models. Combine that with kickup fins and you're pretty solid. I did win a fishing kayak whitewater competition on the new outback when it was debuted at paddlesports retailer, though most of the other companies declined to enter. I was surprised cause Jackson had a booth right there and I would suspect a coosa which is a paddle kayak designed for light whitewater would have given me a run for my money. Also the front hatch on the new outback is only a half inch smaller or something and there is probably more volume inside and it's got a much bigger tankwell. The PA12 is super stable and has tons of storage too. I think your best bet is to go to a dealer and see what you feel most comfortable with.
