Outback....wider, more stable unless your looking to pedal paddle faster the Revo is more narrow and is a bit faster but as far as deck space being able to move around a bit.. Outback is where it's at plus I'll sell you mine if your interested haha

I have used both for fishing. I had the revolution for 3 years and fished hard on it and I now have an outback. The outback is hands down better.

Try both before you decide. Each fisherman has their own preference. I ended up getting the revo.

I am looking to sell of my Revo. I have tried both, the Revo is fast and stable, but I am wide guy. I like the Outback because of the pockets and wider profile (for my wide hips) so I am going to get an outback.
If are interested in buying one PM me, I will give you a smoking deal. Last edited by octico; 09-04-2014 at 11:06 AM. Reason: incoherence |

The biggest difference between the two will be stability and effort towards propulsion. The Revo takes less effort, it's noticeable, more so when paddling long distances. But hey, they are both pedal yaks, so your level of need for stability will likely be the deciding factor.
From my experience, I really do not like Hobie's hull designs. Their primary concern is that of stability, with performance completely sacrificed. The outback's hull performance is by fR worse. What do I mean, well, try paddling them both without the rudder down, you'll likely go in circles. It complicates beach launches and landings. And, if you do leave your rudder down, it exposes it to damage. So, if you do not have yak surfing, in the surf down, you would benefit from a class, as leaning the right way, and or putting your paddle in on the proper side, makes the difference between a yard sale, or not. |
