Post subject: | What year PA 14 to avoid / look for? |
Hello, Brand new to kayak fishing and would like to give kayak fishing a try on Lake Michigan. In looking through past posts both here on the forum and elsewhere, there seems to maybe be a problem with PA's older than 2011 developing cracks? Also have read about steering upgrades to older models. In looking for a used PA 14 to buy, are there any obvious year models to look for or avoid?? Going to use the kayak for salmon and walleye fishing / trolling on Lake Michigan and Green Bay. Thanks in advance, rudyc |

I believe, if my memory serves me right, the first PA-14 came out in model year 2010. |

I was under the impression the 2009 model was the first one. ![]() |

BTW, it won the "Overall Best of Show" award at I-Cast that year. I would definitely steer clear of any older than that! ![]() ![]() |
