Revolution or outback
Weighing in at 250 and 5'6" what one is better to use. Going out everywhere.

Outback is a little wider, might be a tad more stable. Have you considered a Pro Angler? I am 6'2" at 220lbs and the PA works very well for me. Doesn't roll except when used for surfing at LJ.

analogy
The Outback is more "utilitarian" and the Revo is more "elegant". Like a Hummer and a Ferrari.

Try em both out. There are many shops around that for a small fee ($30) or so they will bring them to the water and let you peddle them around. Worth every penny. I would have gone with the revo at first but after peddling both around the outback was the only way to go for me. My height and weight isnt much of a factor but I just felt a lot more comfortable on the outback.

5' 6 ' 250 . you have no choice but outback. proangler would be better except not practical for most situations . ie, surf height / and dragging it around to launch site.if you weigh 250 lbs ,the outback would be pushing 300 with your gear( livewell, rods, tackle, food & water. leaving you three quaters encumbered. it is rated for 400 lbs. ive only used outback , and i am new yak / fisherman. but it is very stable . 36 ' wide. revo is, i believe 28 " wide . rated for probalbly 350 . better boat if you have experience. longer and sleeker = faster / less energy to propel. keep in mind the more encumbered the yak is , the lower you sit , and the more energy to keep you moving. also the lower you sit the more chances of water spray , especially at higher speeds. anyway thats my 2 cents.

I have the outback and i love it. I can stand up and cast in the bays and even move around off shore to get whatever i need. I just have ran into some people that said i was stupid for getting the outback and not the revo. I just wanted to see what others would say

Use which ever one you feel comfortable in. The only way you would be stupid is to get the one everyone says to get and you not being comfy in. It's all personal preference. I love my revo but that's my preference.
