The redesigned hull for 2007 made a great Mirage Drive fishing kayak even better. We loved it before and are thrilled to see that the designers at Hobie listened once again and gave us an even better hull. We couldn't ask for a more well thought out kayak.

Review:	Got the Outback as my primary fishing kayak. First fishing trip out there were winds of 20mph. In my old kayak it would have been very hard to fish in the wind. With the Outback it didn't drift and stayed on track. The Mirage drive meant I could still troll and keep hands free for fishing. I carried 4 rods and the holders were in a great position for me. I have used it several times and have just enjoyed every trip. I did have to adjust my car top carrier and this barely fits. The width is what makes it so stable and comfortable for a day on the water. I was very impressed with the design thought and quality of this kayak.

Review:	Here is the truth. The Outback will handle a big guy like me. It is stable and does not feel tippy like some kayaks that I tested. Listen up bass fishermen, the Mirage Drive will keep a fishing rod in your hands instead of a paddle. It is heavy and bulky out of the water. Especially if you keep the Outback upside down as recommended. ACK was super on the phone and Internet. In store, I had to share time with other customers, computer, and phone. Just order on-line, thats the way they want it and it is fast.

Review:	I love this yak. It does everything well and has plenty of storage. It is however, somewhat heavy and hard to handle when loading and unloading. I bought my wife the Mirage Sport and although they are similar in weight (according to listing), the Sport is much easier to load. Aside from that one minor point, there are no disappointments. Lots of curious onlookers every time we're out. Austin Kayak was a joy to work with.

Review:	I originally owned a SOT paddle kayak. I had a friend take me out fishing and had a Hobie Outback. I quickly learned alot from that trip and immediately purchased a Hobie Outback. This is a fishing machine with a top notch company like Hobie backing their product you can't go wrong. If your main objective is fishing you will be glad you spent the money on a Hobie. Basically hands free fishing ( I hardly ever use my paddle), better boat control and I never get tired. Well, my butt gets a little sore because I fish alot longer in this thing. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!
