The budget isn't an issue it fish ability and portability I really like pro angler but also love outback will bring using a roof rack for transportation. Any one have any pros or cons

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

Don, you finally got something you can fit all those WSB in? Can't wait to see pics with her all loaded up.

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.

Is there anyone on here that pits there PA on a roof rack on a scion xb? And will it hold it? If so I think I might have made my decision

Don't get the PA if you don't have a truck. No truck NO PA.

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.
