PA 12 vs PA 14

[Cattledog]

I have a new PA 14. Its is very comfortable and surprisingly fast, but I couldn't imagine loading it on a roof rack. It is just too heavy and wide. Drop it once and you run the risk of destroying the boat too.

I see a trailer in your future, or a full size truck lol. I haul my PA14 in the back of a full size Tundra truck. It hangs way out the back with a red flag on the back.

One odd thing about the PA14 is that the large front storage container is not very water resistant. There are some simple mods you can do to address this problem.

You will also probably get some mixed opinions on the seaworthiness of the PA's. You sit up a little higher in a PA than in a more traditional kayak. At first, the PA seemed less stable to me because of the higher center of gravity, but I am getting used to it.

I had it out at the LJ kelp beds today, 7/27 - almost had a yard sale on the way back in!
