yeah I saw your ad and the fact that it was Wahoos I almost pulled the trigger but I was going out on a friends PA the following day. I fish everywhere open water up to 8 miles out, bays, and lakes. That's what making it hard. I heard wispers of a smaller PA due out later this year, but no proof of that. Having sold my kayak last month I have been borrowing friends kayaks and Riding as a boat HO yesterday so I need to get my own ride asap.

easy choice, if you can afford a PA, get it!

If you can afford to, go with a PA, I'm glad I did. Stable, lots of room and VERY comfortable for those day long trips.

A beast to lug around but its been over a year and a half with my PA and I wouldn't go any other way! Like PapaDCh said, SUPER stable and I can stay on it ALL day comfortably.

I really like my PA but I'd love the ease of a smaller PA..... It's a beast to transport (unless your have a truck) heavy as all hell wheeling that beast up a hill kills me. It is extremely stable and fishes great. As far as speed its quick for what it is

yeah the weight is kind of a issue for me, I will be storing it on a talic rack up high above our 5 bikes. I have a truck so moving it is not a problem. Where do you guys have the FF and the transducer mounted?

Wet mount in the hull left of the center tackle hatch.

On my PA, I have my FF mounted on a MAD FROG GEAR DELUXE PRO ANGLER BOARD and the transducer a Mad Frog The Liberator.

I have been on the water for 12 hours straight in my PA.

I used to have the transducer mounted inside but the summer heat popped the seal so now the transucer hangs over the side on one of those mounts for that. Works fairly well. The unit is to my right side on the black platform up towards where I sit as far as I could get it.
