Try carbon fiber kayaks too like the Stealth Evo. They're a South African based brand, but man are they light and FAST. Super narrow hull, something like 24".

I didn't read all the posts but just my 2C You might want to invest in one with of peddle drive. Let me tell you why. I have been fishin a 14' prowler for many years in the ocean lakes and bays. If you can't hold your position you are at a disadvantage. You won't know it till someone is fishin next you and they kick your butt because they could hold their position. It happened to me and I never knew how many fish I was missing out on. So either get a peddle drive or don't fish with others You may want to start with a cheaper yak, see how you like it. I'm telling you if you have a competitive bone in your body get the peddle drive. That's all, have a great day.

I have an old scupper pro if your interested in it. Fair offer would work. They used to be the *hit back in the day. Still a good boat.

Well guys, I went to the demo day and tried a few different boats out. the Kraken 13.5 was my favorite of the few that I tried (including the 2019 outback).

I ended up nabbing a 2014 Trident 13 with some extra goodies in the deal (fish finder, werner paddle, spare life vest, etc.)

Havent had a chance to get it out on the water yet but I am hoping to get out there this coming weekend.

Thanks everyone for the pointers and I hope everyone has a great season out here.

If anyone out there needs a buddy to go out with for safety or what ever reason send me a PM i am looking forward to networking on this forum and meeting some new people to fish with.

those stealths are SO cool, but wow they are expensive. Maybe for the next time around!
