Comments about Prowler 13 Sit On Top Angler Kayak, Yellow:
I used this kayak for offshore fishing and inshore fishing, mostly sitting, than standing. It has great cargo capacity in the stern well (easily holds a medium size cooler, or a fishing crate plus a personal cooler) and a spacious bow compartment. Sitting is very stable and can cast without tipping. Standing takes some skill. I purposely practiced tipping and re-entry and it is very easy to flip up and re-entry in deep water. Has a great little strap latch in the front to strap medium size lure (rigging) boxes or electronics. Has molded areas for the flush and Scotty type rod holders (the one not rigged from factory). Has great tracking and turns good. Is a lighter kayak 50+s lbs, when compared to a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 13 70+s lbs, so it is easier to transport from water to vehicle and to roof rails or rack. Very good sturdy handles on both sides and rope handles at each end tip, convenient for transport in dry land. Material is scratchable, but it is durable, is not a soft-plexible-like plastic like Pelican, but not as hard-tensile as Hobie (I'm not saying either is better or worse materials is just that some composites are softer-feel to the touch, other are harder-feel, and some materials have a greater tensile strength others are less malleable). Prowler material is right in between. Overall I really like this kayak as it fits the purpose for it's design and it is user friendly in terms of captaining and dry transport.

Comments about Prowler 13 Sit On Top Angler Kayak, Yellow:
Great kayak, my new baby, this thing is awsome, its great from fishing lake and even going offshore in rough weather, its just stable enough to stand but if your over 6foot five inch would not atempt, great and well placed rod holders are in the perfect position for trolling baits, a little wet but because its florida its nice. Great all round kayak for the cost.

Service and delivery comments:
Specs say comes with padded seat. Shipped to store without seat, had to argue with store manager 45 minutes after showing him specs on web before he grudgingly agreed to give me the cheapest seat in the store. Guess it depends on how much your store manager values a happy customer.Merritt island Florida doesn't seem to much care.

Comments about Prowler 13 Sit On Top Angler Kayak, Yellow:
I took this out on Canyon Lake the first day as soon as I picked it up from the store. At almost 14 feet and 54lb the kayak is a little hard to handle on the ground, however as soon as you hit you will be amazed at how fast and easy to maneuver this yak is. It is also very stable, I took it out on the 4th of July so there were a lot of power boats but i never felt in danger of flipping the yak.
