Went to the Darkside

Well after years of being left in the wake of others I finally did it, I went to the Darkside !!! I picked up my new Outback this morning at Headwaters in Redding, thank you Teri and Bryan for all your help, and years of tire kicking !!
I can't wait to get on the water now, and the bass tournament on Shasta next month. My plans just changed on where to go lol !!!

Nice ride bro.  Congrats

Very nice. Considering switching as well...

Congrats on the new ride Codzilla!

Congrats and welcome to kayak fishin' happiness!  I still struggle with having to choose my Revo-16 over an Outback -- versatility vs. speed and ocean use, and then there was the minor detail that the Revo-16 was the only choice in stock at the time....

My only regrets:

• Weight.  Hobies are heavy
• Cramped cockpits.  That Mirage Drive dictates what happens in the cockpit, and other manufacturers have made nice use of that same space for fishing amenities.  That said, I'm a fly fisherman, so I'm used to squeezing my kit down to the most minimal, efficient set I can carry, and in the end, I find that "less is more."

Suggestion:  Replace the round center hatch with the PA rectangular hatch; there are YouTube vids that show how.

Congrats

So many 2017 camo outbacks filling up my FB feed.  I think hobie might have hit a home run here.  See you otw soon!

nice boat Jeff!

Thanks everyone, I can't wait to get it in the water. Scurvy, my old boat is a predator 13 so it is lighter, not much lol, and the square hatch is going in as soon as Beenfishin gets back from Hawaii !!!! I hope to get used to having less space, that will be the hardest transition.
