The kingfisher has less accessible storage than the prowler. You can also get a rudder for the prowler. The prowler has been listed a few times so may shift on the price. Both are 13 foot / 4.1m which is a good size

Thanks for all the advice picked up a prowler now I have to work out where to start using it I have done quite a lot of fresh water kayaking but not much salt plan to start in lob in fairly protected places until used to fishing etc l live in the inner east any suggestions for suitable early sites

depends which way the wind is blowing. Try for gentle offshore for starters, avoid southerlies at the top end of the bay as it can get lumpy. Next few days the forecast is looking good.
