I am 6' 4" tall with a 34" inseam. Will the pedals adjust enough to make for a comfortable leg extension? Will the ride be top heavy with someone of my size (250lbs) ? I am considering a Pro Angler 14. Thanks

You should be fine. I set my drive in the middle of the adjustment range and I'm 6'. With a PA14 your weight shouldn't matter, if you were looking at a Revo, then maybe.

I'm not familiar with the seat to Mirage drive ratios on the PA14. I've got a Revolution 16. I'm just shy of 6'3", 240 lbs, and also a 34" inseam. I wound up with the peddles set a position 6 for a "comfortable for me" leg position. At your height, I'd expect the peddles to be in the outer half of the adjustments. From what admittedly little I've seen of the PA's, I wouldn't expect you to have any stability issues with it. The dealer I went through occasionally has demo float days. Maybe you could find something like that in your area.

Best of luck,
Steve R.

Your weight is not an issue as the PA-14 is rated for 600 pounds and the excellent seat is rated for 350 pounds.
I am 6' with a 32" inseam and weigh 172 pounds....I have my seat on the "lower position" and my Mirage Drive stroke is set at position #3.
I found that with my old Outback the seat distance was different than the PA, so the stroke setting was at #5.

You should find the PA-14 to be a nice, comfortable ride for a person your size.
