Bretty,
That seat looks very cool.
I've only had my Outback for a few months and I'd consider changing over to the 2105 just for that.
Congrat's on the new ride, it looks very shmick.
Doe's the big jimmy cooler fit in the back ok?
Cheers,
Davo.

The seat is super comfy well worth the change
And the esky fits millimetre perfect but there's no extra room behind the seat the sounder battery should still fit :thumbsup:

Stillll haven't got mine wet yet, been down at anglesea on a school camp for the last few days and it nearly killed me each day I couldn't head out. Really need to do my flatwater licence so I've got an excuse next time. On the plus, delivery was waiting on the doorstep when I got home today and now have all my mods up and done bar the sounder which I'll put in tomorrow night. Sunday is free at the moment so hopefully get it's first run then.

More info to follow :up:
I'm picking mine up on Friday. I've gone the least favourite colour but also the one that sticks out the most, the yellow :)

What had you so pissed off?

Ok bit of an update now things have been sorted

1st off, the thing that had me so pissed off was a torn seat after 4 hours use this has since been replaced under warranty thanks to AKS :thumbsup:

The yak has been in dry dock now since the maiden voyage.
I had to reconfigure the way I have my yak set out, the most important thing for myself is keeping things flush for loading upside-down.
Second was on my old outback I had one ram rod holder and one railblazer.
I loved the ram holder and being able to twist the rod onto any angle comes in handy.
So after a heap of thought I decided to scrap the Railblazer set up and run all ram rod holders.

I knew I wouldn't be able to run the ram ball mounts on the yak permanently as they sit too high and don't fit the new outback side rails :down:
Instead I've run 4 inch Yakattack Gear Tracks with a ram ball.
This has given me a massive amount of angles and directions to run my rods. :yahoo:

I've also mounted my elite 5 hdi on a ram mount :thumbsup:
Im waiting on some new blocks before the anchor trolly goes on(I don't like the current hobie ones so im getting the old harkin blocks) and also need to fit a railblazer mount for my camera boom :thumbsup:
Here's a couple of pics
