Revo or Outback

[Mulv80]

Do you think there is a big difference in speed between the two?

The Outback I peddled has the medium turbo fins so no.....get them and its a sweet combination between the two....cant beat it. The Outback with them (or even stock) is faster than a trolling motor will push any YAK....it will put off a serious wake......


I cant really afford one but if I ever suck it up and get a Hobie it will be because of the versatility while fishing....you can never lay your rod down and fish the whole time....


The new propellar drive Native is off the chain as well...check it out...its more $$ but I drove one of them this past saturday and it will SMOKE the Hobie.....you can reverse to by peddling backwards!

I found a local store selling a 2007 leftover Outback for $1225. I may try and talk the wife into it since an 09' probably will coast me $1600.

I just got a quote on an 09' out the door for $1500. Now I'm really having trouble with my decision. The 07' after tax will come to $1300.

Id go 07.....I got my redfish way cheaper as a "new" last year's model.

I don't mind leftovers but they made some changes from 07' to 09'. Most notably they changed some components on the drive. I have read a ton of posts on different forums about the changes and still don't know if they are signficant enough to spend the extra $200 on.

Oh I gotcha. What are the differences? The boat itself or just the drive?
