Hi,

I live in South Florida and recently got interested in kayak fishing for offshore beach launch. I will be renting one (non hobie) this week to make sure that I love it before getting one myself. I have pretty much nailed down to a PA14 for its stability. I have thought about getting the outback but I like the width of the PA. Also, I most likely will only go out when the wind speed is under 8 or 9 mph. I am looking at an used 2013 PA14 around $2200, however, just found out that the 2015 PA14 has new longer rails. My question is...is it worth getting a new one with the rudder tension control (introduced in the 2014 version) and the longer rails in the 2015 version???

Thanks in advance!

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
