Hobie Outback question

[philr21]

Buddy of mine gave me an old Hobie Mirage Outback. It has the old style rudder, not the stow and go.

This is apparantly the old hull style, pre-2007. One thing I noticed is it seems much tippier than my X-Factor. I'm a big guy, 6'5 and 235.

Should I be concerned with the tippiness? How much did the newer hull design change the Outback's stability?

Used it once, broke the rudder. Got a very cool fish from it though, a Biwa Trout, only native to lake Biwa in Japan and it's tributaries. Not a rainbow- knock off, an actual type of trout that spends almost its entire deep.

I included some pics of the Biwa trip so you can see the kayak. Want to fix this thing up and use it since it was a gift, just curious how much of a difference there is in the newer hull style and if I should be concerned about stability.

Thanks.

Phil
