I've never owned the 12 but I do own the 14. I've seen the 12 and have talked to quite a few that own or owned the 12 and most of them regret not getting the 14. The 14 is a beast, it weighs almost twice as much as the outback, it'll strain your back and make you regret buying one each time you have to load it on your car/truck. However, when you see how fast this beast is and how much deck space you have you'll be glad you bought the 14. I was able to place a 45lb wsb on the deck of my 14 and not one kayaker was able to see it, some were as close as 30'.
