I am thinking of downsizing from a PA as well. Revo16 if I do.

Slayer Propel 12LT seems pretty light.

Thanks for the suggestion, this looks really promising! Did consider Native boats before i jumped into a Hobie, but now I'm gonna to check OEX Mission Bay to see if they carry this! Anyone else has tried this boat?

You won't gain much speed by moving into a smaller kayak.

I went from an Outback to a PA 14 and despite the fact that the PA is larger and heavier it moves through the water better than my outback. Unless your average fishing trip is 15-20 miles+ I would suggest you stay with what you have and deal with it.
