I like my Pro Explorer (Malibu Kayak). It is definately slower than my Scupper Pro (Ocean Kayak). But you can't compare the two since the Scupper is a touring style kayak. I haven't paddled a Scrambler for a long time. Though I'd bet the Scrambler would be a tad bit easier to paddle than the Pro Explorer. Though you might want to compare the dimensions. That would be the only reason why the Pro would be slower than the Scrambler; weight and size difference. The Pro explorer has much more deck space and storage space down below than the Scrambler. Take a Pro for a test drive. They're both great kayaks. Though I bet if you didn't like the Cobra Fish and Dive at all, you might not like the Pro Explorer. The Pro's dimensions are similar to the Cobra Navigator. If you've paddled a Navigator, that may be more accurate of a comparison than the Fish & Dive.
