WOW. I got to demo a Revo 13 and an Outback. REALLY  liked the Revo. Felt more like a "kayak". I hear it faster than on Outback but what I did notice 1. It took less energy to get it moving, it seemed to glide better than an Outback. 2. It seemed quieter, is that right ? No hull splash and it was a calm day and I heard the hull splash. I saw a Revo 13 on shore and talked with guy who owned it, he rod holder in the pocket under the mesh that looked like a great place for a rod holder. I also think about using the mast hole for a depth finder or GPS/FF. Anyways  we need a lil time to save for 2 yaks, wife REALLY likes the Revo 11 , what ever she wants she gets.... lol.
 Anyways if others can say why the like the Outback or Revo please chime in.

I wouldn't put a rod holder in those mesh pockets since I like using them for quick access to all sorts of stuff.  Camera, snacks, baggies of plastics, etc.  That region is a little too "inside the cockpit" for a rod holder IMHO, but who knows, you might find it comfortable.
