Nate that's pretty accurate about the boat itself, it is fast. My problem with outcast and I hadn't had any till I lost a bag and needed new one and oar sleeves is they only sell to vendors. You cannot purchase anything from them unless u are a vendor. Maybe that has changed and I hope it has cause I like the boat a lot. I just want a lighter frame. I went through san Jose fly shop to get my replacement parts. There is no more san Jose fly shop, so last Mel cottons stepped up for me and got me some extra parts.
