    Right now I have a pro angler 14 with all the works.
    Problem is I may need to sell it , due to lack of space n needing money to pay off a large school debt .
    If I do decide to sell , I will post and give pictures.

    My options I'm looking to get in return are a few paddle yaks

    I'm looking for reviews on these 4.
    Cuda 12
    Coosa
    Malibu X factor
    And the tarpon 12

    Or if anyone has any other ones in mind to look at.

    If you are going to get a paddle kayak, I suggest that you also take a look at the Native Manta Ray series. There are not as many Natives on the water in this area as some of the other brands. I am on my second Manta Ray 14 and have no desire to switch to another kayak -- including a Hobie. It is very roomy and comfortable for my large body, tracks well, and moves easily through the water (with a steady paddle stroke, I average 3.5 to 3.8 mph; up to 5 mph when I really paddle hard). One of the guys who fished in the March meet and greet has a Manta Ray 12, and I fished in one in Florida a few months ago. It is slightly wider and shorter. As a result, the paddling speed is not as fast, but it is more maneuverable when trying to position yourself. The Manta Ray seat is remarkably comfortable.

    I have no financial affiliation with Native, but am a very happy owner. There are two Native dealers within 40 minutes of Annapolis. You are welcome to meet me sometime on the Severn and try it out.

      Cuda 12 is new and has been getting rave reviews, however you probably won't find a used one as they are new for this year.

          I have the Tarpon 120's little brother Tarpon 100 and I don't have any complaints, the built in tracs are a pretty cool feature. I think I've actually used it more than my Outback so far this year.

            I am pleased with my tarpon 120. Tons of storage and gear mounting options. Tracks well and good speed. I was first going to get the ocean kayak tetra 12, but after sitting in both....I choose the tarpon.

                Check out the Versa Board. The ability to stand up and spot cast makes it an invaluable and versatile fishing tool. It has a very low profile and is relatively light weight with makes it easy to store and transport.

                  I have a Coosa and Cuda12 you can try out for free.

                  I run a Jackson dealership in Germantown MD called Valley Mill Boats and we have free demos of all Jackson fishing kayaks. I have a couple used Coosas for sale as well. You're welcome to come try them out
