Sup, narrowed it down to a revo or outback just deciding on the color. I like the visiblity of the dune but am thinking about the olive so I can hunt with it in the winter. Probably doesn't matter just wanna see what you guys think.

Thanks

Sounds like you have pretty much made up your mind if you gonna fish the salt. Neither color is ideal

Dune is pretty visible OTW but it's still somewhat of a natural color if you worried about ducks shying away from the yak. Seems like a good balance. The olive looks sweet but harder to see OTW.

Go Dune.
The olive color just vanishes on the ocean or on choppy water.

I went with Olive and am very happy with it.  If I'm fishing the salt or busy lake water I fly my safety flag and have a yellow splashtop on.  I also shoot ducks from it, and duck blood/red mud just blend right in.  AnglerDangler went with Dune and its much harder to keep his boat clean, if you don't keep the red mud off it will stain it.  But mud and blood stains aren't necessarily a bad thing.  :smt003

Love my Olive Pro Angler for duck hunting!



The fish don't seem to mind it either!

Those were my choices when I was shopping for my Outback.  I went with Dune so I could be more visible out in the ocean.  An olive Outback would've looked too much like a sealion and I don't want to be mistaken for one of those  :smt044

+1.  Golden Papaya.  I'd recommend orange but they don't make it anymore!

I'm an Olive/Sand/Tan type of guy. Never seen much use for bright colored kayaks.  Visibility can be increased, but being awesome/cool looking can't, bro.

On freshwater both are low visibility. On the ocean, dune is slightly more visible. If you are hunting on freshwater, I would go moss. Anything else, go mango. Remember, you DO want to be as visible as possible.

Yellow is more visible than red. Navy did tests on the ocean many years ago.
