I feel the outback is MUCH slower the revo. Granted I only spent one day on the outback, but I was unable to keep up with the revo and addys in the group.

Standard or turbo fins? The difference really is night and day (but that holds true for all of their boats)


The outback just bogs down and pushes more water.

That was my experience in the Sport. Granted, I was "racing" the Sport against an Outback. But the Sport clearly hit the bow wave much earlier.

I have no doubt the top speed of the Outback is slower than the BigA or revo, but the crusing speed with the bigger fins is comfortably close to the longer boats.

Honestly I'm not sure which fins ....
I do know I love my Addy even when it is leaking like a sieve!

Not painful at all ... Laughed our asses off after it flopped off the boat.
... Still makes me smile!
