It's all good though, the mirage drive more than makes up for the shortfalls.

With an upgraded rudder i find the Outback to be able to turn quite nice. Works when i over shoot a Lobster Hoop. Of course we all know any paddle kayak will turn better, thats a no brainer, but the revo and outback turn just fine for our application.

Yeah don't get me wrong, they aren't very bad but they do suck lol

Either way, I own 3 Hobies. I too overshoot my buoys or whatever I marked on my ff...never had the problem with my tarpon.

I won't go back to a paddle yak though.


Also, turning has to be done at speed. But there's nothing that can done about that. Nature of how the rudder works.
