IMHO, outriggers are more work than they are worth. 99% of the guys out in the ocean are fine without them. You'd probably be better off moving to a more stable yak if you feel it's necessary. Or just put your legs over the side if you feel tippy while on a fish or otherwise.

Sounds like and invitation to get tangled up
I have enough trouble with my line getting tangled on my rudder, (hard to get back there to untangle). Adding outriggers would only make things worse. Besides, how would you bring a fish to the side of the boat in order to gaff or net?
My Revolution is plenty stable. The Hobie outback is even more stable, probably impossible to flip. I agree with the previous post. If you are worried about stability, go test some other boats, I am sure that you will find something that works for you. Bob |

I also have an explorer. I have never had a problem with stability anywhere. La Jolla, M.B. or San Diego bay. Have had it loaded down with hoop nets and still no problem. I even have been able to stand up in it on mission bay.
