Hey all,

With the 2015 Pro Anglers being released this week, I'm wondering what the biggest improvements are? Is the h-rail the biggest change? Is it worth the extra $200+ for the h-rail?

Seems like I could get a 2014 PA for several hundred dollars off and save $300-400 - are the new Pro Anglers worth the extra? Is there something more than the h-rail that distinguishes the model years?

Thanks.

They also now have Glide Tech drives - and a drop-down skeg for improved tracking.

Its not enough of an improvement for me, so I went with the 2014. intead of paying 3200 I got 400 off a 2014 and paid 2600.

I am sure the tracking is improved and a better mirage drive by 10% less input from the user. But I dont care for the H-rail.

I really dont have a current problem with the tracking and just adjust the rudder tension. If I want better tracking ill upgrade to the larger rudder. Just my opinion.
