Looking for a PA or equivalent... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm in the market for a Pro Angler or equivalent. I currently have a Prowler 11 and its just not big enough for me. I'd like to upgrade and I would also be open to other sugestions. I'm 6'3" and close to 200lbs. In my Prowler 11 I'm not even comfortable getting into the forward hatch while on the water. I've been to Fastlane and done my research on the PA's but just can't spare 4k to stay dry and stand on a kayak. Being that I have some back problems I'm leaning toward a mirage drive system. I've looked at the new Native Slayer Turbo drive but with my long legs it seems like my knees would be hitting my arms as I fish. As some of you know, I'm fairly new to kayak fishing but please know I'm an avid fisherman both inshore and offshore. I am hooked on the sport and am eager to expand my fishing zones as I feel limited to the bays with my current yak. I'd like to get a fully set up yak and keep my other for friends and/or girlfriend to use. Does anyone have any input and or a PA for sale? I figure, go big or go home so I'm leaning toward a 14. Opinions on the difference between the 12 and 14 are also very welcome. I value the opinions of the experienced and knowledgable anglers on this forum and any advice would help me out a lot!
