1st Post and a PA 12 Review - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The steering is perfect just the way it is. Just try not to over-steer. Think along the lines of micro adjustments. It's similar to when you're driving on the freeway and simply keeping your car in it's lane. Say, 1/4" to the right then 1/4" to the left.

Just make sure you go buy a hand bilge-pump, PFD and a big a$$ ice-chest! All three are essential items.

P.S. If you change your mind and decide to sell it, expect to lose about $5. You know the price of that gas to meet up? Something about supply and demand...

Such a rad rig. Bonus money where you at?

Anyone who has tried both know if the stability is equal to the 14?
