Get it. Love Mine. West Cove launch is where we put in mostly. Good marsh and only a few miles to the reefs. Tide does rip sometimes though.

When the tide rips is it hard to catch a grip on the yak?

There are several marhes off the Hog Island gully boat launch [Sabine NR] canal that are mostly protected areas from the wind and short paddles.

Ever thought about the Hobie Outback as it is half the weight and still has the stability to standup if sight casting. I like the pa but it is a big boat.

I had an outback and a pro angler. At 260 I could stand in the outback but only to take a leak in calm water. I could fish and everything else in the PA.

From what I remember it would have to be a hell of a tide to put a strain on a mirage drive. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

13'10" I think. Will fit but will work better with bed extender. They like $40 at Harbor Freight if they still got them.
