Great. If you're looking for a pedal boat...

I bought the Hobie Mirage Outback and have overall been extremely disappointed with the boat.
I was convinced by quite a few people when telling them I was looking for an easily transportable and stable fishing kayak to go with the Hobie. I was disappointed with the small amount of deck space and the fact that I tipped it over 3 times my first time out fishing. It is a decent boat if you are looking for a kayak to pedal around. But not for fishing which was what I was looking for. I have since purchased a Nucanoe Frontier and it blows this boat out of the water as far as stability and versatility for $700 cheaper. I wish somebody would have told me about the Nucanoe when I asked about a stable and versatile boat made for fishing in the first place. Would have saved me a lot of frustration and money.
