I love mine - not getting rid of it.

Another pro - for a power boat transports just like my PA14. Can put it on roof racks if you don't have a weak back. With the Boondox landing gear and the sand wheels it will roll over the softest sand making beach launches easy.

Took off from Makoville and fished the cliffs all the way down to Gonzaga Bay once, if the wind didn't pick up I would have actually fished in the bay, but made a hasty retreat. Huge headwinds that would have stranded me in a kayak were easily overcome - although I was wet.

And I agree - any following swell over a foot can get sketchy, if not downright scary. Had a two footer come up behind me and the chine dug in causing a snap turn that nearly threw me out of the boat. You don't get that problem if you move at idle though, and idle is kayak speed so it isn't that bad.
