Less raw material but more features even the price out to be the same as the original Pro Angler.



this shows the transducer cover. There is a recess so your trans is in the water with this cover protecting it.



No holes to drill with running your FF wiring. One acess here and one under each side board.



Far and away the seat is the biggest new feature. Lighter more comfortable and tons of adjustment from reclining to raising to flipping back and leaning against when standing



tackle management and the new rectangular hatch. When opened the 2 trays actually raise up and out for easier removal.



We were introduced to the PA at the International Dealers meeting last month. Orders were place by all the dealers. Initial shipments are 2 per dealership with followup orders placed. When can you get one? June 1st.........maybe sooner.

That's a lot of Kayak to peddle around. I think I'll stick with my OK Prowler.
