Hobie Outback vs Compass, side by side walk around.

If you’re looking to buy a new kayak this will help decide between the 2020 Hobie Outback and the 2020 Hobie Compass

Great Video!! I have the Compass which I love. My friend has the Outback which is super nice and I was jealose when he got it. Although he has more bells and whistles it is a challenge everytime to get the Outback on top of his SUV without assistance. I load my Compass by myself without difficulty and then go help him out. It is amazing what the few extra pounds makes. But it makes a big difference. The Compass definately checks the box for "Ease of Loading". If I owned a truck I would probably go Outback but as often as I kayak, I don't want to deal with the added difficulty of car topping the Outback.

Good comparison! I’m looking to get one of these two, and this really helps! Thanks

Excellent video. I have two Outbacks and love them. Thanks much

Really glad I got my outback looking back at this video. The thing is a tank

Awesome channel bud !

Great comparison. You’ve got me pinching my pennies, I have a Pelican like Tyler and it isn’t terrible and will most likely be one I loan out once I upgrade

[@saltypatriotoutdoors3915]

Good comparison. Thanks for the video.

Nice review man! Can you stand up and fish in small chop in the outback?

[@jivarie]

The Compass is hands down the best fishing kayak for the money out there. If Hobie ever figures out their 360 drive technology, I might upgrade to an outback.

Thank you. I've got a deposit on a Compass down. Just waiting now. This has me eyeing the Outback though.

[@StevenYoungcaptual]

Thank you for the review- I was on the fence, but I'm going for the Outback. Only problem is...You Can't get a 2021 due to Covid Crap. Looks like the Hobie boys are at the beach, rather than making kayaks in California?

[@coastlineoutdoors]

Well done! Subbed to help your channel🤛🏻

As someone who owns a compass and a Passport 12, the Passport 12 is a better fishing kayak for me. I fish inshore Tx coast. The cockpit of the Passport is larger and easier to fish out of. I feel just as stable standing in the passport as the compass. It is as light as the compass and feels as nimble. On the Passport I was able to deck it out with the xl deployable rudder, same vertical rectangular hatch as the outback with bucket, full 6mm marine mat, front 8" circular hatch with bucket, anchor trolley, fish finder kit, and hobie h crate for the same cost as a stock compass. The Passport has the kick up mirage drive. The compass has 180. I find that im not often wanting the 180 in the Passport (although I can just pop in the compass 180).

Great video! I wish I would have spent more on mine.

Did your Compass come with the casette, the plug used when not pedaling, an owner's manual or scupper plugs. I just got a compass yesterday and didn't get thease items.

I just bought me a compass and now I want an outback 😅😅😅

[@icudanny5067]

Thanks

[@redbeard1891]

The weight is a massive plus for the compass too.

[@sylar5373]

In the end I went the compass, it was cheaper and the few cool things like rails and extra hatches I can ad myself for far less than the extra an outback would cost me

I love my compass paid 2100.00 plus tax about 9 months ago. Best purchase my husband has the proAngler
