PRO vs OUTBACK

Can anyone shed some light on the differences between fishing in a pro angler vs fishing in a outback? I was just wondering about the feel(stability) if someone has fished both of them. I have my PA14 BUT I was thinking about how much lighter the OB would be to haul around.
We were at fastlane yesterday looking at yaks for the wife and my two boys and the sales guy was talking about what a work horse the OB is and it got me thinking about all the weight I'm hauling around(me as well)in the PA. I bought the PA because I'm an overweight 61 yr. old and I thought the PA would be like a big boat as far as stability goes, but I've found I keep the seat in the low pos. and when I crawl around front to back it can be pretty unstable,not what I had hoped for.So with that in my mind I thought maybe the OB would be about the same as the PA stability wise, but a lot lighter to haul around.
Any thoughts from those who has fished both?
