Outrage vs OutrageX?

Post by openboat »

At 6'1 250 the X is the more logical choice, but i have found a deal on an outrage 12' and want to know if im just too big for it. One of the guys at Mohawk says Im not too big for a Probe 12, but i know they are different boats.

Will they let you test paddle the Outrage? OR are you too far away.
They are quite different boats...the Outrage is a fantastic boat...fast, nimble, fun. The X felt like a barge to me, but is still a capable boat but doesn't feel like a bigger Outrage, felt more like the old Rampage to me personally.
If you'd fit a Mohawk 12 (old 12II) you should fit the outrage, albeit a bit narrower.
You'd have no trouble unloading it if you didn't like it as well. :D

It is a long way off and it is in the florida panhandle so no good place to paddle it. It is a wood gunnel boat i hear that is more desirable than vinyl.

I've paddled an Outrage a bit at as much as 240lbs and it is a great boat. Buy it, it's a good boat and it'll handle your weight just fine.

Just being willing to try is half the battle.

IMO 250 lbs is to big for a 12' Outrage. I go 200 and feel a little big for mine.
IMO the 13' X feels just like my 12' Outrage but carries my weight better.
IMO the Rampage is a refrigerator box. The Outrage X is a longer Outrage.
YMMV

I have an Outrage X in my boat pile. Never paddle it... Thinking about getting rid of some unused boats to add an Option to my stable.
