She’s a keeper.

So Christmas and my birthday came a little early this year. Sam went out and surprised me with a new 2019 outback  I have no idea what I did to deserve that, but she’s the best!

I spent the day getting somewhat rigged up. Really all I did was add a fishfinder and played around with how I’m going to store and carry my gear.

My first impressions are that it has some really great features. Tons of storage, I may not ever need a crate again. I’m not sure how I feel about the guardian transducer yet. I may end up just leaving it in the fixed position instead of messing with the up/down pull. It’s not super easy to put on my truck racks solo, but I can do it.

I’m taking it to lake Sonoma tomorrow for stability testing and self rescue practice. Also performance testing and some fishing. I’ll report back with further impressions.

Nice Yak bro.sounds like you a keeper for sure.looking forward to your review and report

Happy birthday and merry Christmas! What a great present.

Nice! Congrats!

Woot woot!

Sweet

Wow! That is awesome. I am curious to know the results of your tests.

Nice yak, congrats!

Congrats, I think you'll love it!

If I upgrade or add, that will be the one!

Darn right a keeper!  Congrats.  I’m loving my 2019 and just modified a Watersnake trolling motor for it!

A little wind and a little chop on the lake. It rides drier than my 2015 revo and seems to be as dry as sams 2017 outback. It cruises easier than my revo. Trolling 2 rods with divers at 2.5-3 mph with less effort than my revo took. It’s much quieter than the 2017 outback which I hated due to the hull slap noise. Top speed is about the same as the revo. The pliers holders perfectly fit a bottle of pro cure scent which is nice.

Wow!!! That's a good lady to hook you up like that.
Let's fish. D

Silly me, looking for a Subaru
