We've had our Outback and Revolution for a little over a month and couldn't be more than thrilled. We've been out almost every weekend.

-The sailing rudder and ST Turbo fins are the best money spent on an upgrade. Yesterday I had to dodge commercial traffic on Lake Union in considerable chop and I doubt I'd have done as well without them.

-At first we bought a roller system for the rear roof of the car but have stopped using it and I finally removed it. After some practice we just lift/flip/place the boats on the roof rack and have the set all tied down in about 10 minutes.

-We bought a large storage box that we store all the necessities and accessories in. Throw the box in the back, pop the kayaks on the top and away we go.

We're already exploring places we've never been before, and these boats are worth every penny. There are some pics of our adventures here:

I enjoyed your pictures and website!! have you thought about adding a flag to each yak to make yourself more visible on the water to power boaters?

I bought two of these and am very pleased with the quality and attentive service from the owner.

Thanks for the comments on the pics.

We've been talking about getting safety flags. We do wear the bright red Hobie life vests, but I've been considering ditching them for inflatable ones.
