I have a 2012 or 13 Jackson Cuda 14 that's never been on the water, bought it from a kid that never used nor have I. It has the anchor trolley and rudder. It is blue. Can send pics if interested. $1200 (no tax). Located near Wylie.

dandeeks, 14's are much more stable than 12's and handle better. You can stand and fish from this one!

Any inputs???? New? No. You'll have to go used to find a pedal driven kayak.

There is a lot of great information being shared on this thread - Every now and then I think we should remind potential Kayak Fishing Folks to.............
Demo if you can. Do your research but Demo! Other folks can give you great insight on what they think might work for you but YOU need to confirm their feedback by actually trying the boats.
ACK is having demo opportunities the middle of September, 2014 in the Houston and Austin areas and Mariner Sails is hosting an big Demo Day September 27th, 2014 in the North Texas area at Lake Lewisville. We'll have representatives from Hobie, Wilderness Systems, Legacy Paddlesports, NuCanoe, Santa Cruz and no telling who else. Mariner's Demo Day will run in harmony with a Heros on the Water outing too! Most shops offer demo opportunities year round, we do..... so - try before you buy if you can. When we demo boats, folks will often end up with a boat that isn't the one they thought they wanted. Go figure.....

I agree that there is no one kayak that has everything you want but the best way to find the one that fits you is to determine where you are going to fish the most and what you are going to fish for. Example if you want to live bait fish make sure your kayak has enough rear storage for your live well and make sure it has the ability to be rigged for that way of fishing. The most important thing to me is the seat, if you are planning to really fish out of your yak you want something that you can sit in for hours at a time and be comfortably. And final always demo before you buy, some kayaks look cool and seem great but don't paddle well of handle like you thought they would

Does anyone have the link to the kayak chooser thingy? Saw it a while back, but I cant find it anywhere. I like the Moken 12' but there arent any dealers around that I know of. Any thoughts?....
