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

The 07' through 09' is the same hull, in 09' they added a quick release click in system for the mirage drive. No more cam locks. The drive was beefed up with newer style drums and sprockets. I have talked to two dealers who say that the improvements are nice but shouldnt be a deal maker or breaker. I'm just trying to weigh the pros and cons.

Update... I went tonight to look at the leftover 07', it was not as good as I would have hoped. I saw it as soon as I pulled up to the store, it was hanging on front of the shop exposed to the elements. I thought ok as long as its in good shape. It wasnt, it had multiple gouges and scuffs. The rudder did not operate smoothly and the shop wasnt willing to discount it any further. I decided that I would rather pay the extra $200 to a local shop for the 09' where I know I will receive excellent product support. I'm going to hold off buying it till the Spring.

I ordered an 09' Outback and I'm picking it up on Dec. 13. I hope I don't regret not getting the Revo but for the type of fishing I do I think the Outback is the way to go. I'll post pics when I get it.

Change of plans yet again. I saw on the Bassbarn a guy who was selling an 09' Outback brand new for $1400, I offered him $1200 and picked it up this morning (pics are coming). He won it in a fishing contest, it was still in the bubble wrap. Turns out its a Hank Parker fish edition with gear bucket and tackle trays, I'm stoked. I'm going away this weekend but will post pics next week.
