so i currently have an 07 outback, I fish strictly salt water off shore, right now im not going too far out cause of either not enough time or choppy waters. i keep my kayak stored in a storage area right next to the water so not too much beach launching. im having trouble deciding what new kayak to get, outback is nice but im 6ft 205lbs, so sometimes it feels a little cramped, not to mention moving around on the kayak can be a little sketchy, for example accessing front hatch/ kill bag, keep in mind it is an 07 model so no vantage seat. I really like the storage and stability of the PA models, but all i here from other fisherman is how slow and heavy they are compared to the outback, I dont have a car so im not going to be transporting it anytime soon, my buddy should be getting a kayak soon so we'll probably use his car to transport kayaks on the roof from time to time. so with all things considering was wondering what you guys think, should i try for a newer outback, or go big or go home with one of the pro anglers, and how much slower is the Pro angler 14 compared to the 12 and outback, how much harder is it mounting an securing a pro angler vs an outback to the roof of a car. Any suggestions are appreciated. an yes I have been in all 3 models, but only for about an hour or so.
