Good thing we have the Jimmy can for size reference :lol:
Little bit jealous - the extra storage looks pretty handy, and seat looks super comfy for my 4.5 jimmy can width butt haha
Out of curiosity does it impede your reach to items behind the seat at all compared to the old model? Not such a big thing but it looks like the back extends a fair bit higher than the previous model, I'd assume the seat is shown in the highest position though?

Looking forward to the review!

From just sitting in the backyard :shifty: :lol:
The bottom seat position is exactly the same as the old outbacks height and reach wise :thumbsup:
Kick the thing up to its highest setting and your just above the side rails on the yak :o ( I can see a lot of guys tipping in this position)
But you seem to be a little closer to the front of the yak, it may just be I'm not used to reaching down for my rods :lol:

There's something wrong with the 3rd and the last picture??
They seem to be missing something! :up:


Those seats look pretty nifty don't they! Might have to upgrade the sport, I like the idea of a dry backside like my old PA.

Bretty it looks like the rear floor level may be lower than the old model, this may help with stability.

Nice, can't see the can in the 3rd and last pick :evilgrin:

Can those straps on the sides of the seat be removed? They look like they'll get in the way a hell of a lot. Noticed it on the revo video posted earlier today

They can't Cobby :cry: that's how the seat reclines
My 1st thought was these will be treble magnets, but after having a think I never really snagged the old seat so I reckon they'll be ok, just might have to double think bringing the fish in with no net :thumbsup:
