Need some advice- especially from the larger kayakers in the community.
I had a 2012 Hobie PA14 and I actually enjoyed the old style seat. Felt sturdy for a guy my size (390lbs) and it was very comfy with a seat cushion under the mesh. I sold it with the intention of buying a Titan Propel; however, I came across a great deal on a 2015 PA14, with a ton of accessories and trailer. But.... it has the Advantage Seat.
At a 350lb rating, I have to question if I'm going to easily break it. I briefly sat on one at the dealership and it felt ok (was a bit tight and uncomfortable- nothing a good cushion can't handle I hope), but as anyone who has bought a used PA before knows- incredible deals on PA's are rare to come by! Needless to say, I will be buying my new-to-me PA (figured I'd give the Titan a couple of years to get the kinks worked out).
If any of you fit in the 350+ (or close to it) category, how has your seat held up so far? Any concerns I should be aware of?
