Does anyone use these for wildlife photography? Currently I use a pontoon with a trolling motor mounted port side, but it's usually just me so I'm thinking of going with a kayak like this for my photography
@SteegeFishАй бұрын
I know some people who do! I would look at the Hobie lynx. The pro angler is a great fishing platform but probably a little overkill for just photography. The Lynx is super lightweight but in my experience is just as stable as a pro angler.

Debating buying a 2022 PA14 360 non XR for $6200CAD or a 2023 360 XR for $8000. Do you think the improvements are worth an extra $1800CAD ($1300 US)?
@SteegeFish5 ай бұрын
For a 1300 difference I would have no reservations about purchasing an older 360 as long as it’s been cared for well. The new improvements are very nice to have but after owning a couple of the older versions I never had problems with them either besides the very first 360 drive I had in 2020.
