Need to find a bigger boat or better one, too many PA's here, makes no sense to rent a yak when you own a beast.

Problem being that I doubt all the PA owners would be willing to pay twice the price to bring half the number of kayaks.

I guarantee you wont find a better boat that the Islander. And as far as going bigger, that wont help all that much as most sportfishers have about the same amount of room on the back deck. The Islander isnt a small boat.

The Islander does things right. Their rack holds kayaks well the problem is that in all honestly the PA is not a kayak, it is a plastic boat. Even if another Sportfisher did the Motherships it wouldnt be long before they said no PA's as well. These take up twice as much room as any other kayak meaning you cna only take half as many anglers. Not to mention they put a Huge strain on the crew. Not to mention when you do have PA's on the deck they have to get off the boat first as they are so big they block everybody else from being able to move around and launch.

I am seriously considering the 5.5. I gotta run it past the other half... I will get back to you CJ. How many do you have so far for the 5.5 out of curiosity?
