Hi all, I am living in western wa near everett, and am currently in the market for my first kayak.  I am most interested in the Hobie outback and revo 13. Being new to kayaking in general, I am leaning towards the outback due to stability, but I really want to test out both boats prior to making a purchase. I will mainly fish area lakes and the puget sound.

When you test do it in conditions more difficult than you re likely to actually be fishing.  Make sure you can reenter the yak easily and also consider reentry when mounting placing your equipment. The lees stuff you have in your way the better.
