For the lucky fellas that had a PA14 and switched to the PA12 what do you like about the change and what do you guys miss about your PA14?

14 is alot more stable, holds more fish, able to withstand the taxman better, catches bigger fish and it attracts prettier women...and last advice is whatever you do...don't trade your PA 14 for the same model kayak that jorluivil has...

Both PA models peddle extremely well - dealers can't keep them in stock.

As to how they PEDAL, I think my PA14 is as effortless as walking. Pleasingly, it also gets about the same speed as walking. If I were walking at a 3 MPH speed, that same rate of leg motion gets about 3 MPH in the PA. (I can troll for walleye literally all day at the typical 1.5 MPH speed they like.)

Been out on it a couple times already. Was at barrett yesterday and had a good morning bite. The multi-adjust seat was like fishing off a lawn chair and there is more stand up room than the 14. BTW killed suspended and marauding wolf packs of LMB on berkley swin baits. Bite lasted about 2 hrs from 8:30-10:30. Next stop the big bay.
