Hobie pro 14, old town predator 13, nativewatercraft slayer 14.5 questions

I'm looking at the possibility of my first fishing kayak.  Though I'd like to fish the Oregon coast eventually, I'll first start out in lakes to gain experience.  I've looked at various ratings and reviews and narrowed it down to the Hobie pro 14, old town predator 13, nativewatercraft slayer 14.5.  Of the three the last two look better due to the weight of the Hobie and loading and unloading it.  I've sat in lots of kayaks and have come to the conclusion that due to size (6'4", 200 #'s) and low back issues I need the type of seats in the latter two.  I'd be interested in feedback from anyone that has experience with these.  Thanks.

conveniently I wrote a staff study paper for class the other day comparing similar kayaks, the analysis is based off of in shore fishing in virginia, but you can adjust it to fit your needs.  pay attention to the decision matrix at the end, re do the weighting to fit what you find most important. it is still the rough draft so ignore the spelling errors.  see attached

Thanks.

I own both the Predator and a PA14. Never used the native... If you plan to do any surf launches the Predator would have my vote of the 3. They are both awesome lake boats, and unbelievably comfortable, dry, and stable. None of the 3 are gonna win any races, and the PA and Native are gonna paddle like bathtubs. If you want a "do it all" boat from those 3, the Predator once again has my vote. If you really want pedals you should demo the other 2. Don't count Jackson Kayaks and the OK Big Game out either.

The native slayer 13 propel actually paddles pretty well... for a peddle yak.  If you're considering the PA, consider the propel as well.   The 14.5 slayer is a paddle yak... and a pretty nice fishing machine.

Reading that PDF made me realize you need an Outback. Cheaper, stable, hands free, and you can stand.    It has a rudder that actually sticks down in the water so it turns on a dime, too.  Therefore, you don't need reverse.
