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...

My main concern is stability. If the 13 is stable enough for me to
fish from I'll go with that. If I can't get a boat that doesn't fit
easily in the back of my truck, that will defeat the whole purpose. My
12'6" kayak is no problem. My 16' canoe sticks out way too much. I'm
sure 13' will be OK but 14???? Like I said, the only way for me to be
sure is to go there and try both.

Thanks!
