I sold my PA12 a few years back and currently have 2 outbacks and a revolution 13. I am looking to add a PA14 or an AI. I am leaning toward the AI since I do not get to fish much with the whole family going out, but have a few questions. I live in Tulsa, OK. We have a lot of lakes around us. I typically go to smaller lakes (Shell lake would be the smallest), but also will go to the larger ones a few times a year (Keystone, Grand Lake O' the Cherokees, Tenkiller). Also, I will have one or two 4 year olds along with me from time to time. Right now I am waiting for the local kayak shop to get an AI so I can get a demo completed.
How big of a lake is needed to enjoy a AI?
If I do not use the sail on an outing how does pedaling an AI with AMA/AKA compare to the PA as fair as speed and resistance?
Hey Nate I was in much the same boat as you and was about to purchase a tandem island until I found out about the capacity plates. Just so you know the adventure island has a capacity of One and 400lbs and the Tandem Island has a capacity of 2 and 600lbs. It might be a good idea to check your state and see how Fish and Wildlife handle those plates. I am in Kentucky and was rather disappointed to find out I can't have more than one on the AI and two on the TI! The amma's and akka's and tramps add nothing to the stated capacity!
