Hi!
Those are good and at a nice price.
I have Hobie Sidekick outriggers.
You could also check-out the Scotty outriggers.
Also there are some web sites that explain how to make DIY stabilizers!

| Yea i saw some but at the cost of the items and the time and fustration to make them might be cheaper to buy them from that guy haha. I went out on Black Pond with Basstrapper and my kayak was not nearly as stable as his. |

You'll get used to it. Trust me. Unless you plan to try standing up or carrying a large dog, I don't think that outriggers are necessary.

Hi!
Stabilizers are a nice safety add-on if your boat/canoe/kayak are tippsy or if your not proficient paddling.
Will make for a much more stable platform to fish from and make you feel more confident. 
You will sacrifice some manuverability -> But not much.
My opinion is -> Stability and safety take priority -> especialy if your out alone!
Have all your safety gear with you also!
