The best advice is to test ride a few kayaks before you drop your hard earned money on any kayak.

Take a drive over to OEX and test ride a few kayaks, once you make your choice I'm sure Andy will take care of you. As far as the PA goes the difference in weight between the 12 and 14 is only 15lbs, that alone should convince you to get the 14. Also, you mentioned getting into tight places in the harbor, unless the area you're trying to fish is less than 36 inches wide there is no reason to not get the 14 which is 2 inches wider.
