Get the 14, they're both heavy. You will enjoy the real estate, otherwise if size is a problem for you get the outback.

The difference is 2ft of plastic. Just go with the 14.

PA
The biggest obvious difference is the front hatch size.
Since I've been with the Hobie team I've seen that the reason that anglers buy the 12' PA is due to storage or transport problems. If you don't have these storage or transport problems then the 14' PA is the best way to go...as Tony said " You will enjoy the real estate". As far as price...it's only a couple of hundred dollars difference between the two. IMHO...I'd go with the PA 14'.

Great insight. Thank you everyone! I have a long bed Tacoma so I think transport will be a breeze. On the hunt for a 14

Rolled down to the launch next to a guy that just bought a 12' PA the day before and he already had buyers remorse after seeing my 14' rigged up
 Get the 14' for sure.

After 3 very happy years with the 12 I'm ready for the 14... just upgraded from a 5 foot truck bed to an 8.
