Pro Angler 12 or 14? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've test drived the Outback,PA12 ,PA14 and Revolution 13. The Revolution is by far the fastest, but at the cost of stability. Surprisinlgly I could not get much more speed out of an Outback over the PA's. The PA's are more stable, but at the cost of extra bulk and hauling weight. I like to bring the kitchen sink, so the PA14 is optimal. It has 6 rod tubes instead of 4, and an extra 100lbs capacity for the big catch. The PA14 is 20" longer, 2" wider and 15lbs heavier than the PA12. In exchange, it gives me a slightly better feeling of security when offshore kayak fishing. If your a small person, the PA12 might be a better choice. Hope you get to test them out before making the purchase, good luck.
