Stealth 12 vs 14 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

kiyo21 · 11-09-2012, 09:09 PM

I'm 5'6" and 145lb and just want to know if the 12 or 14 is better for paddling the ocean? I know that sale is in the morning and this is my last chance at getting the awesome prices.

Thanks anyone!

This is a good review http://www.kayakfishingsupplies.com/...sh-review/Page . Your best bet would be to paddle em both but since you cant read some reviews online. Theres tons of reviews of them both and comparisons.

I have the 14 and love it, no complaints!! More room than I will probably ever use.

Open ocean 14 definitely!

I agree with the 14. I use a Prowler 15 for the length, storage, and speed of the boat.

I started with the 14 and now own a 12. The 14 is a beast to move in and out of the truck and the water. The 12 is much better for me.

I am 5'11" 215lbs.
