PA 12 vs 14
Is it really a no brainer to go for the 14 due to all the deck space or are there some advantages of the 12 vs the 14 aside from the weight?

Re: PA 12 vs 14
the 12 would be easier to flip back over and more managable all around i would think, but the 14 does have the space... im glad you posted this

That's true with the weight. I know the 14 plows through the surf, but what about the 12?

I have the 14---still not enough space.

I don't do BTB, but I went for the PA14 instead of the PA12 because it was $100 more for 2 extra rod holder tubes in the cockpit, extra 100# weight capacity, and the front hatch is way longer, which you can put big fish to transport back or even put a bag of ice with your stuff to drink or eat.
I would think a PA14 should be in theory faster than a PA12. Since I had a RIDE115 I wanted something faster also.
Weight wise it was not a problem for me since I already had a trailer.

I have a PA 14. It's my fourth boat in 19 years and I love it. Great for everything except super skinny water. Oh and surf re-entry...tough...takes extra practice.
