Hi all,
I have absolutely decided I want a kayak, mostly for fishing, but also for diving. I live in Broward County. Most of my kayaking (I figure) will be in the Intercoastal locally, around Biscayne Bay sometimes, hopefully the Keys from time to time, Indian River Lagoon, and of course the Atlantic. I haven't fully decided on a specific boat yet, but am heavily leaning to Ocean Kayak Prowler Trident 13 or 15. Not the angler model, just because I don't want the additional risk of flooding from the 'Rod Pod'.
I would love some input regarding the length issue. Benefits of 15 or 13, drawbacks, whatever advice or comments anyone can provide would be appreciated. I am 6'1", 235lbs, so not small. If that has much bearing.
Also, I am curious about Hobie Kayaks with the mirage drive. Anyone have experience with them? Recommendations, or not?
Thanks,
Joe
