Manta Ray 14

Fishing mostly freshwater lakes, I like this boat for its great stability, good ergonomic seating, good tracking and overall handling. I have not had it out in any rough stuff in the ocean, and have no plans to use it in the ocean, but have encountered some heavy winds and white caps on bigger freshwater lakes and it was not a problem. Heavy winds will require some corrective paddle strokes, but anything less and the boat is really really good. It's not a speed demon. Plenty of room for add ons and they are all easily accessible. As a big paddler (6'4" 225lbs) this boat is ideal for all of my fishing needs and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good value, stability, and good all around use. It is a little cumbersome to load on the roof of my SUV by myself, so I purchase a set of Thule set/glide with rear roller and now it's alot easier. I do recommend you get a dolly or cart to lug it to the water, it becomes heavy real fast once you start loading fishing gear on
