I own the P-13,

 I love it! fits my small size ( 5'-8" 135#) and is fast enough to get me where the fish are in time to get in some fishing!
 I can stack my traps and all the gear for Crabbing on her
 Plenty of room for gear for a whole day on the water. (food water etc....)
 Light enough I can hoist and haul it ( with shoulder disability)
 also my mental sanctuary, I can get on and paddle my cares away.................

 The feet get a bit wet some times as my scuppers leak a little (waaaah)
 gotta come in straight and fast behind the waves in the surf as the chine is a bit steep and she gets sideways on me easy (yes I have had the nose in the sand and the tail in the air a couple of times)
  THE WORST IS   I don't get out as much as I would like to!
 Good luck in your search for a Yak my Friend

The Prowler 13 is a great all around yak.  It's no coincidence that I used them on the last couple of Alaska adventures I've been on.  Above average speed.  Decent stability.  Nicely laid out cockpit for pimping out.  It's one of those yaks that I would recommend to anyone without knowing anything about them.
