Dose anyone have any experience with these kayaks?  Any pros or cons? I have a hobie PA 12 and a friend of a friend wants to trade a blue sky 360 for it. The 360 is wider and longer. I think it would be more stable than the hobie too. I fish mostly lakes and a little bit in the ocean. Any input is appreciated.

I have zero experience with the 360 but at first glance, it looks like a super stable boat for bass fishing on lakes or the delta. That high seat position (30" above the waterline) raises your center of gravity significantly though. I'd think that this boat would be a rough to unsafe ride in ocean conditions that your PA would cruise right through. Just depends on what you plan to use it for most though.

360, Sitting up that high will make your body into a sail. Even in light winds.
