I picked up yakmedics old Moken 14 and I've also fishedoff of his 12.5 and I love both boats. I'm a big guy and they are both stable platforms and I like the storage on them. The built in gear tracks are great and the seat is comfy.

Feelfree

Thanks for the quick replay, I live in SoCal. Rancho Cucamonga but work down by the beach in San Diego co. Where can I find the 12.5 near by?

Sometimes the front hatch leaks...but feelfree may have fixed that problem. Test it before you buy it.

Check out OEX Sunset, you can demo other boats while you're there and find what you like. If you don't make the drive to Sunset Beach I'm in the IE and can meet you at a Silverwood or Perris so you can check them out.

Test drive

That would be great to be able to test paddle that boat. Let me know when you are in the IE

I second this. The hatch itself may be water tight but the seal between the kayak and the hatch, not so much. This can be fixed, but make sure that's done before you buy the boat. Here's a video I shot when I was a rep for Moken, I have been assured that it's been corrected on the newer boats, but for you safety I recommend testing.

I have nothing against the Mokens, I think they are very stable boats.
