Thanks for the update Jim

For those that have purchased a 2019 Outback, this additional gasket is now installed at factory and available free of charge to those purchased prior to updated remedy. Just contact your dealer.

what kind of trailer are you using?

The new outback looks awesome, but man, in the fourth pic it looks so crowded and stuffed and awkward.

Hey Cris
It's that big Kill Bag that makes it look stuffed...I think the smaller bag might be in order for this yak...or ice in a smaller bag inside the front hatch.
It definetly seems like it has more room in the cockpit than the old Outback, with the extra storage on the sides .

Andy...my new boat came with the improved gasket...no leaks...LOL!

TJ...it's an old utility trailer I picked up for $250...

Might also just be the perspective. Jealous of the bonito stuffed bag!

With older model I use to be able to stick 7 ft. rods with reels installed into the hull. With newly designed front hatch that is probably not gonna happen? It was a tight fit before and foam blocks had to be removed. Any opinions? Sold 2106 outback for The Beast. 2017 PA 14. Wish I had room for the outback and had kept it. Trident 15 is my primary platform.
