Yeah, that appears to be a great deal, especially with the FF, DR and rod holders.

Out of curiosity, since it said $1800 or BO, did you low ball him?  If you got it for less than $1800, I'm calling the cops because the man got robbed.   

Congrats...glad you were able to grab that deal! 

Magnets!!!!  DUH!!  of course.  I use those.  Just swing your hook or lure close and it will keep you from getting hooked.  Ha!

And a sail?!  Well son of a bitch!!  I've been wanting a sail for a while now. 

As far as outfitting, let me know what you are thinking of doing and most likely, I've done it to mine and could offer you some advice.  For example, the H-bar is awesome but critical on mounting so you have room to stand up between the bar and seat. 

Here is a link to some photos I took while doing mods to my PA14.  Hope some of them will give you ideas for your own.

Congrats!!

Just finished checking out your pics.  Thats a nice setup you got there skipro!  I have got to give you props on that trolling motor setup, it looks clean!!

My next upgrade will most likely be the H-Bar.  I might be hitting you up for some advice if I run into any questions.   

Just be sure to mock it up and that you have enough room to stand.  Too far back towards the seat and you can't stand up!
Also, I added a seat slide so the seat can move forward and back.  Moving back really opens up the deck so you can access the tackle storage. 

Notice too, the netting on the back of the seat.  Great to toss a jacket, hat, etc. as conditions change. 

Here's a link on the seat slide.  It gives me a couple extra inches height which helps my knees when peddling, and I can adjust distance to the peddles without having to pull the drive to do so;

Here's a link to my trailer and how I built it as well.  Not sure how you plan to haul your PA, but the trailer makes it easy for me with a camper on my truck.

I didn't notice til now that the seat is different from 2011 to 2012. 

On the 2012, I notice it has the ability to raise the seat a few inches if needed.  No sliding feature though.

Vince, sorry to see you sold your PA 12 dude! 
Smoke, I have a new, never used H Bar if you are interested........
