Thanks for the great link.

Thanks for the link.

Just an FYI for those that aren't aware.  I believe 2006 and older outbacks had hull issues where it cracked in the drive well.

That is correct and after owning a 2005 and then a 2012 the difference in the hull design is night and day! It is worth the extra time and money to find a newer model. $1300 for a older model is not that great of a deal IMO..

I had 2005 and 2008 (after hull change), but for some reason, I liked the older one better.  The ride was definitely more comfortable in the older one.  But the small front hatch was basically useless on the older models.

$1300 does seem a bit high for a 2005 outback though.

I think those retailed at around 1200 at that time...

Glad you guys chimed in on this. I was kinda looking at it..

If you do end up getting an outback, definitely look for 2007 or newer.  Also, I recommend getting the turbo fins, because the outback is kinda slow.  If you like to go fast as Ricky Bobby does, then I'd say skip the outback and go for a revo.  I recently upgraded from the outback to the revo and it was definitely an improvement IMO.

The odd thing to me is how right in the backyard of NCKA, there is a fully rigged Hobie, and it is not on this site first. That tells me all I need to know about that yak.

not everyone is on the site, i've known people who fished for years and never knew about this site

It's sold. The guy wrote me back and said he got full price for it.
