The Outback runs the MirageDrive 180 with Kick-Up Turbo Fins and ARC cranks, giving forward and reverse with fins that retract on impact. A wide standing deck, the Vantage CTW seat, the Guardian Transducer Shield and the H-Rail with RAM Hand-Track make it a full fishing setup. The Kick-Up rudder has dual steering controls.
