Last December I was very excited to become the proud owner of a 2015 PA12. There is no question- it is a GREAT fishing platform, under the right conditions. If I fished an inland lake or a body of water without lots of wind and boat wakes, I would probably still be a happy kayaker. However where I live in SW FLORIDA, the wind can pick up quickly and there are too many large power boaters who are totally oblivious to the huge wakes they pull. Having been rolled once, I find myself apprehensive about going out in conditions that I found exhilarating in my old REVO 13. Because I love being on the water every day and there were just too many days when I was afraid to go out in the PA, I bought a 2015 Outback. Although not as spacious, the handling is superb and I think this is the perfect boat for my conditions. So it is with great sadness that I have made the decision to sell my PA12. It was an expensive lesson, and I hope my misfortune might help someone else from making the same mistake I did. Again, I want to emphasize that I think the PA is a GREAT boat, but under the right conditions.
