The big tuna looks really nice, plus my wife can go every once and a while.

I fish on a Cuda 14. The boat is sweet. I just made my vittles vault tank for it too so I'm set for full day trips. I can stand up and fish AND paddle it standing. It's super stable; I even took my 80lb hyper boxer out to the Cbad lagoon with me and it had no problems. If you wanna get on it shoot me a message and maybe we can arrange something.

The Big Tuna is sick! On that boat, you can rig it for a tandem set up or solo just by changing the seat position. And the seats can face each other, back to back, 2 height positions, etc. The weight capacity is good too! OEX MB has a Big Tuna on display.

We will have the rest of our Jackson boats very soon and will put up a post when they come in. Should have Demos and stock boats in before next week if all goes as planned.

Cj, bring some to Bass and Brew to demo at the harbor. People can demo them after they fish. Maybe from 10 AM to 12 PM. I know I'd like to see them.

Don't overlook the FeelFree Moken 14. I promise you will love this Kayak if you paddle one. They are stable, dry, they handle surf launches excellent, and are very reasonably priced.

At some point, it would be nice to have a comparison chart of the brands and models; and perhaps, recommendations by pro staff on how these boats are specialized for what type of fishing scenario.

In the past, MKs, Cobras, and Hobies comprised the mix in our fleets, but these new players from back East are easily becoming contenders....

My Yak upgrade fund is growing slowly, but with the number of new models getting closer to double-digits, it's getting hard to make a choice.

Well I'm a Pro Staffer for FeelFree Kayaks and I can tell you that the Moken 12 and 14 are well designed for the type of fishing that we do out here. The seat that comes with the Kayak is the most comfortable I have ever sat in for a Kayak seat. It sits up a little higher than the OK, and tarpons. It has a really cool standing platform just in front of the seat with scupper holes under the platform so that water doesn't pool up where you sit. The rod pod easily holds 9' rods. This past weekend I had 6 rods that all have conventional reels attached, bait net, gaff, and gear stored inside for landind in the surf. The Kayak paddles fast smooth.

They also have smaller kayaks for lakes and bays that are equally as stable, with the casting platform, and the great seat.

If you want to demo the Kayak let me know and I can meet you or I can get the local sales rep to maybe throw together a demo day.
