Outback Owners,little help ! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Well my shoulders are offically trashed to use full time so Mirage Drive here I come.
This will be my 1st kayak. What year did the Outback get the new type drive
That Snaps-in? Also since I have to buy used is there a general concensus on the most comfotable seat that fits the Outback? I'm 5'10" 190 lbs.
Any input would be appreciated!

I could be wrong but I believe the snap in system became standard in 2009. As far as seats go I went with the seairsports seat, anything that has a higher backrest than the stock seat is better.

I tried the sea air sports seat and really wanted more padding than it provided so I got in on the group buy from OEX and got the GTS expedition seat and haven't looked back! It fits just fine in my outback and made a huge difference for my back and my butt!

I just got the Surf to Summit GTS and I haven't had a chance to use it yet... D'OH!!!

But in comparison to the factory seat the back is higher the seat is soooooo luscious feeling!!!

You are correct George, the click and go was introduced on the 2009 models.
