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

I can't comment on surf launching/landing as I've never needed to.

The Stealth forward bait tank works well and is very convienent, but it does take up a lot of real estate which leaves the two side hatches for gear up front. I keep my tackle in a tackle box in the tank well area. I'm reaching for bait way more often than tackle so it works very well for me. Plus the top of the bait tank makes for a good workbench and lunch table and having the tank water that low in the boat adds to it's already good stability.
