Bob I just set my rudder appropriately and I can drift the shore line quite nicely most days! Fresh or salt!

the hobie is great for drifting because you can actually maneuver the thing while you are fishing if you need to! In a paddle yak you have to stop fishing, position yourself, and start again!

Something to think about in regards to the PA's......but once they are in the water you can't beat them! Absolute blast!

Pro's for the extension rack are lest costly, no trailer issues, no mass trailer registration and simple.

Pro's for the trailer of course are many boat ramps require a trailer to even park there.

I no longer have the PA, but I do use the bed extender for my paddle yak. It works out quite nicely. Just tie a bright flag on the back to make it visible. I also put reflective striped tape on my bed extender for added visibility.

Still - it takes a LOT to flip most any fishing kayak, at least a lot more than I would be willing to go out in, but you just never know what can happen out there so better to be ready for it.
The most unstable the Outback seems to get is in a following sea. It can be a bit unpredictable in a big enough wave when the fins ride up out of the water. Going into a wave, I have never had an issue.

that seems to be true of the revolution as well, but both are still very stable

Yeah. My revo is kinda squirrelly in a following sea. The real danger is if you burry your bow into the wave in front of you as you surf down the wave behind it. That scenario is how most yakers dump their boats and gear.
