Prowler 15 or Fish and Dive
 

So basically im new to the sport and really just looking at what would be the best yak for a beginner. Sorry to bore everyone with this whole specific to me type thread but im really on the fence here...
im about 200lbs
5ft 10
ive heard some pretty good things about each boat but any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks guys

Prowler 15 hands down. Fast, stable, and has great tracking. also a great deck layout.

between the two, Prowler hands down,...I would road test a Hobie before you make a decision.....;)

or the Stealth 14 Brokeloser has tonight:D

I too have a Prowler 15 and it's the best yak I have owned so far. My next yak will be the trident for the rod pod feature, but in the same line of kayaks.

haha...good looking out mtnbykr

love my prowler trident 15. No comparison to the FnD, which I have owned as well.

A watch Q
 

wrong post

oops...I have a nice watch from BPS, lots of bells and whistles, tells me when the fish are biting...usually forget to put it on...lol

I've owned both the Prowler 15 and the Fish and Dive and I thought they were both great kayaks. They are hard to compare because they are so different though. Every one here has recomended the Prowler and I do to but the FnD has its strong points. At 200lbs you don't need a kayak with so much floatation and stability but then again it's unlikely you will ever dump the FnD. I liked the little seat in the bow of the FnD and took my kids fishing with me. I thought the FnD went through the surf, in and out, much better than the Prowler. Like always, try them both and see what you think. Mike

Thank you guys for helping me out

first yak was a fish and dive.i am a big guy 6/1 300lbs that yak is supper stable never felt unstable on this yak.i now have a x factor and have to say it is a little faster and easyer paddle for me( less beat up at the end of a long day otw).i do still have f/d as back up for my son he ir 5/9 220 and he likes the yak i dont think i will ever get rid of the fish and dive.i have never paddled a o/k so i cant say the diffrence on the two.
