Hobie Outback Fishing vs Recreation Model

Sorry if this has been asked before, but can anyone tell what the difference is between the Outback fishing version and the Outback recreation version?

Thanks for your help!

I could be wrong, but I don't believe that there is a difference. I'm pretty sure that the Outback is just one model. I know that in the accessories brochure, they used to (and perhaps still do) separate the kayaking accessories from the fishing accessories, but as far as I know the boats are the same in 2010.

A quick scan of the website and 2010 brochure seems to confirm my thoughts.

Most fishing accessories are more of the neutral colours, so you might not want a red or yellow model if you're going to be adding the Hobie LiveWell or something like that.

Hi there, I bought a Outback Fishing version recently, the only difference is that it came with 3 gear buckets in a mesh bag and 2 rod leashes, and of course the Outback Fish decal on the stern..

I think the one marketed as the "fishing model" was associated with Hank Parker wasn't it. I think this also indicates an older Outback from before the hull redesign. They used to come with extra accessories if I remember right. (Disclaimer) I am over 40 now!

you just get additional stuff with fishing version. just buy regular outback. no difference at all.
