Dave Scadden ordered one of the first Pac 1000 Outcasts for me. I fin in my float tubes, so I had something else in mind, other than rowing, for my Pac 1000. First, I custom made a rear platform to hold two batteries and a second seat for my wife. Then I custom made two angled gimbal mount supports for the front allowing ample room to enter and exit. A Minn Kota 40 lb. thrust electric motor is mounted on one side and Cannon electric downrigger - when needed, fish finder and two rod holders are mounted on the other. For added stability in the wind, I mounted a catamaran rudder on a shaft with a tiller for control. I do big lake fishing for big trout at Strawberry and Flaming Gorge, sometimes covering 30 miles in a day trolling. I would not recommend this set up for white water, but for states like Utah with annual value based property taxes on boats, it is a real winner. the whole package fits in the back of my F-350 -overkill- and assembles on the water in under ten minutes. I love this boat!

Customer Service

Never contacted customer service. They would probably sue me for what I did to one of their fly fishing creations.

The pontoon material is excellent it has withstood my mistakes around rocks without even a scuff. In eastern tennessee we have ledges in most rivers rather than free stone like the western U.S. they are like minefields for an inflatable boats. So far no worrys! The capacity of the boat is incredible I have carried myself and my 12 year old son on the back platform through class 3 whitewater with no problem. The boat is easy to control for a boat of its size.

The oarlocks have opened up a bit from some hard rowing, but not to the point of causing a problem rowing. The boat is a little exspensive but in this case you definetly get what you pay for.

I have owned my pac 1000 for more than a year now and have logged alot of hours on the rivers of eastern Tn. I think for the money outcast has the best product in the kickboat world hands down. Iam 6'2" at 250 lbs its hard to find a boat that would carry me comfortably dry and out of the water. It handles like a dream rowing or with fins on. I was so impressed by the use I have gotten from it I bought my wife and son a pac 800..

Customer Service

Never had to use it, but in talking to them they seem more than willing to back their product.
