One of the biggest things that drew me to the Titan series was the stability and having the ability to go in reverse hands free. Being a bigger person, almost 300 lbs. and a tournament Bass fisherman who brings a ton of tackle and rods with me, i have not been on a more stable platform. Some kayaks i have been on have a poor initial stability which make them uncomfortable, wondering all the time if you are going to tip. However, the Titan 13.5 is remarkably stable, so much in fact that i often tie off to boat docks and step in and out of it like you would a much larger boat. Living near and Fishing Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair often, I feel comfortable standing in open water and or using it like a SUP, paddling around sight fishing. Being able to stand so easily makes fishing certain presentations like walking the dog with topwater lures and fishing jerk-baits a breeze. With the gear tracks throughout, rigging to your liking is also easy, as you have the ability to move things about until you get your system dialed in. All in all, if you like fishing, fish in kayak tournaments or want an ultimate one man paddle/pedal craft, this is the platform to have. I could not be happier with my Titan 13.5!!!
