Hoosier if you went all the way to rabbit island in a PA (from your pic it looks like a Pro Angler anyway) that is one heck of a peddle. I have an Outback and don't know if I would go that far.
Yes, Pro Angler -- good eye. I can't believe the front hatch held all those fish. There was almost no wind in West Cove Friday morning, so getting to Rabbit Island wasn't too bad -- maybe an hour peddle.

Getting back I had a little wind to my back, but loaded down with fish in the chop it was probably about the same.

The one thing I loved about the kayak is I stood up to drift fish almost the entire day (when I wasn't peddling).
