Thanks for replying everyone says to demo but it’s just not an option where I am the nearest demo day is the end of May and as is they don’t have the Titan on their demo list.
I have the 12’7” bonafide now so I definitely don’t want to go down in size I can’t see myself in anything under twelve and half foot.
The hobie is out of my price range unfortunately or I’d buy a PA14 tomorrow but I just can’t spend the money on the new 360 and I want the hands free reverse option.
I would be interested in the big rig but the only person I’ve known to own a Jackson pedal drive had issue after issue with the drive system he eventually just sold it.
As far as trouble paddling I’m not really concerned with that I won’t need to paddle often and the bonafide isn’t a cake walk to paddle itself especially in wind or current.

I have a Hobie PA 12 and I really like it but it doesn't have the 360 drive but it is the 180 with manual reverse, in the last two years I have only used rev. twice. It is a wide kayak at 36 inches and really a stable boat for standing and casting especially if you fly fish at all. Hobie's are expensive but have about everything you might want, folding rudder, skeg and I think the best seat on the market. With the new 360 drive out you might find a good used boat? Best of luck with your new boat. Jawhawker
