OEX Sunset Beach Demo Day - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Came out to test the Outback with Vantage seat as well as the new reverse drive. I loved the seat my back did not hurt at all after 20 mins vs old seat I died. Man that fat rudder helps you really turn on a dime. The reverse drive system is great but the whole reaching down pulling etc, I didn't care for. Deal breaker no. Test drove Pelican yak and they had some old wobbly drive and only went out about 5 mins came back, but I did like how you just peddle in reverse and backwards you go. Didn't feel as smooth nor as fast as Mirage drive. their rudder does not turn well either. Jackson reps were saying their new drive is coming in a few weeks so that should be interesting. Decisions, Decisions but since Im in no rush I'll play the waiting game. Thanks OEX!
