For current production I think the Prowler 13 would be a good choice. The Scramblers are wider and more stable and therefore more diffucult to paddle. Of the yaks OK has made in recent years many people including me think that the Scupper Pro TW is the ultimate (but no longer offered). It is over 15 feet long, more narrow than the Prowler and it is FAST and it can carry a large load including a fully rigged tank in the front hatch plus a fully rigged tank in the rear well. If you could find one used and in good shape the Scupper Pro is hard to beat when speed is the need for a diving yak. It also has a better shaped rear well for a tank than the flat bottom wells so prevelant today. However, the Prowler 13/15 well will carry a tank nicely.

BTW, if your wide in the rear, lol, the Scupper would not be the ideal steed as it is a narrow, long, fast yak.
