me and my brother both have outbacks, his is an older version and the hauls are different. his peddles/paddles better but i believe mine feels more stable.
his seems to lean to one side or the other then peddling in a cross wind.
storage area in the back is different, the newer ones have a bigger storage area, also in the front the older ones has a small round hatch, newer has a larger lift hatch. the older ones have a different rudder lifting design with a lever instead of pull handles also the rudder sticks straight out instead of tucking out of the way then not using the rudder . both are nice and you can pick up an older one for a very reasonable price. I think the money is worth the improvements on the newer ones.
