PA 12 video - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Don,

I see one photo with an up and a down pull cord (prototype), but not what we saw, should be the same as on the PA 14. no second up/down control on this one.

I noticed the seat is much higher than the larger PA.
The advantage is more torque power. This is going to be a fun ride!!!!

Andy....what model yak (dune color) is that in the background of the last photo?

That white kayak in the background is a class fiberglass version of the Hobie Mirage - the first Miragedrive kayaks produced. It's one of about 70 that were made.

Pretty sick boat! Only issue I see is getting in and out of that new chair in the surf. Looks like the seat will have to be in the extra vantage position to get the armrests as much out of the way as possible.

Can't wait until they roll all of those improvements into the PA 14.

only two ups about it is the lowrance hook ups already there and the seat I think.
Glad I have the 2011 PA

looks high (top heavy) for 2-3 ft surf, looks fun though

I don't understand why they go with Lowrance when you have to pay extra for everything and there mapping for San Diego is crap.

coming in at TWO feet shorter than the fourteen ... is it still the same price ?

and yes why limit the FF to a lowrance why not make it so other units could be used
