: Hey guys I want to buy soon which one is better? Im from Texas and trying a Pro Explore out is going to be hard to do. How do they compare to each other? I am 6'6'' 210lbs , I can stretch my legs out straight and just touch the end of the foot rest on the Navigator. Thanks for your help.

Cobra makes some good kayaks so either way I don't think you would go wrong. I haven't paddled the Navigator though I haven't heard any criticisms regarding it (though I never read any reviews on the Navigator). Malibu Kayaks made a nifty little comparison "data table" (if you can call it that) highlighting some of the differences they've found between the 2 kayaks.
Again keep in mind where the comparison table is coming from. Though there are some points Malibu Kayaks make if you were trying to decide between the 2. It's a
fairly common thing to do in the industry, but you usually don't see that kind of comparison chart on a manufacturers web site. Competition is healthy and alive in the sit on top kayak industry!
