how many outback owner are here?

went and tested the revolution and outback, i like a little of each. outback turns tighter but is slower( the revo i tried had turbo fins on so not a true comparison) but im sure the extra width of the outback makes a difference in speed and stability. also the revo would seem to be the wetter yak.
(stayed bone dry on both), the driest kayaks i have tested /owned.

i will be doing some ocean fishing off of LJ and doing alot of mission bay fishing and peddling.

now that you have used your outback in the ocean do you regret getting this over the revo? does the outback handle well in the chop and surf?

im leaning towards the outback, more perceived space and just feels better.

im torn!! go with the gut and get the slower outback???

im spoiled peddling so im going with a hobie, just not sure which one????
