From what I know of the 2 the only thing that would be keeping you from getting the PA is your budget. If you dont have about 3000 for a pro angler. If your looking at outbacks though here is a deal I found you may like http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/spo/2853194496.html

The PA is easier to transport than my stealth 12, which was 40 lbs lighters. I love my PA.

If I was to decide between the outback and the PA
I would get this one: Oh wait I already did But if the budget really isn't an issue get one of each and a Revo and the Ocean Kayak Ultra 4.7 then you would all your bases covered

Between the outback and the pro angler? Go with the pro angler. I would make your choice based on what is better to fish from, not what is easier to transport. |

I have both an Outback and a PA. While the outback is lighter, I prefer the PA for it's stabilty and space. I have a pickup though so am not sure about the loading on a car. Check to see if the rating on the rack of your vehicle will handle 80-90 pounds. If it does you should be fine.

PA
I am quite new to the kayaking bit but just this last week went out and did some reserch and looking around at a lot of kayaks and found that the PA was the best fit for myself. I am 6'1" and this kayak has a lot of room and plenty of space to store items. I also bought the thule adjustible truck rack for my dodge 1500 and i had no problems by myself putting it up on the rack. You should have no problems putting it on your car rack. I was also in the debate between the outback and PA. PA won. Taking it out this week end for the first time.
