I want something fast but stable and not hard to paddle. Im gonna be fishing harbors and the open ocean sometimes so its gotta handle some surf launching. And i see people always put the year their hobies are would an old one have a bad mirage drive or something? Seems pretty pricey for a new mirage drive at $500. So which model would you guys reccomend me to get and what would be a good price to pay for a rigged outback or revo 13 with a ff, turbo fins, upgraded rudder (is this really necassary), bait tank, rod holders, and all that good stuff? Im waiting for your input, thanks and tight lines

Is there a big difference? Anybody have any positives or negatives? Sorry for beating a dead horse...

You guys could buy mine friends Outback
