Thanks Speck. I'd considered the 12 footer, seven pounds lighter could make a difference to 70+ year old folks. But the aspect ratio (Length to width ratio) made me decide on the 14 footer. You're right. It paddles and rows quite well. And with the electric motor we can almost handle skiiers! . Not true.
Thanks to all who helped with comments and info.
