I've had both the 13 and the 14 and I have higher regard for the 14; for
me it's more versatile. It tracks better, can be turned with a little lean
efficiently. For heavier people the weight is spread over a larger surface
area, which means that it's easier for you to travel over and into weedy
areas where a lot of fish congregate....
Make sure it's tied in well on your truck, and if you have any concerns,
tie a red flag on the stem. Here in NJ I think you can overhang about 36
inches before the flag is required...

I've decided that the only way to figure this out is to try both
canoes on the water and try both canoes in my truck. I'm going to be
near the Mohawk factory over Christmas so I'll decide then. If I can
just wait that long ....
