I have been told you can go farther with less fatigue, and of course the hands free fishing. That is the reason for the switch.
It seems with the new seat you could find a less reclined posistion, making paddling an option if desired.
It sounds like some of you prefer the Outback over the Revolution, I will give it a test also. Thanks !

Yes, you are right in thinking that about the recline on the seat. This is on newer hobies only. You can lounge back all day and if ever had to paddle, quick adjustment gets you in the upright position. VERY VERY nice seats. Used to have back pain on the revolution 13 after only a couple hours. Now have a PA and can fish a 12 hour day without even thinking about my back pain.
