Hobie outback or pro angler?? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If I was to decide between the outback and the PA
I would get this one:

Oh wait I already did

But if the budget really isn't an issue get one of each
and a Revo and the Ocean Kayak Ultra 4.7
then you would all your bases covered

Don, you finally got something you can fit all those WSB in? Can't wait to see pics with her all loaded up.

Between the outback and the pro angler? Go with the pro angler. I would make your choice based on what is better to fish from, not what is easier to transport.

Is there anyone on here that pits there PA on a roof rack on a scion xb? And will it hold it? If so I think I might have made my decision

Don't get the PA if you don't have a truck. No truck NO PA.

I am quite new to the kayaking bit but just this last week went out and did some reserch and looking around at a lot of kayaks and found that the PA was the best fit for myself. I am 6'1" and this kayak has a lot of room and plenty of space to store items. I also bought the thule adjustible truck rack for my dodge 1500 and i had no problems by myself putting it up on the rack. You should have no problems putting it on your car rack. I was also in the debate between the outback and PA. PA won. Taking it out this week end for the first time.

I have both an Outback and a PA. While the outback is lighter, I prefer the PA for it's stabilty and space. I have a pickup though so am not sure about the loading on a car. Check to see if the rating on the rack of your vehicle will handle 80-90 pounds. If it does you should be fine.

Iebadboy · 02-16-2012, 07:29 AM

yes my scion's roof rack is rated at 165lbs!!! the negatives are dwindling down and the PA is looking good final test will be tomorrow when i peddel both outback and PA in the harbor....
