Got into kayak fishing 3 yrs ago
My first kayak was an ocean kayak speck
Same as the Ocean Kayak scrambler xl
Paddled this boat for 2.5 yrs and decided to upgrade,
Looked at the WS ride 135 nice boat stable just hard for me to paddle I'm 5'7" 178 lbs.
Tried the Native watercraft M/R12 but sides to high .i like to fish side saddled.
Wife has a Tarpon 12 nice boat just to tippsy for me and wet ride.
Bought the search 13 and wow what a boat.
Tracks well ,High dry ride ,very stable.and at 60 lbs its a little heavy but easy enough to load and unload.
Have used this boat for bay water fishing and BTB offshore fishing .
This is a well thought out kayak with the Angler in mind. lots of dry storage and plenty of cockpit room.
The large tank well carries a milk crate and plenty of room for small soft sided ice chest
and tackle gear.
For the price and stability this boat is worth looking at.
Glad i did........
