I had the fs128t. It's only 8" longer and 2" wider, but it looks like a lot more. It has more in hull storage which I liked. You can't use the front rod holders, not sure why they are there. Tons of storage on the deck, you can fit everything easily. It's super stable. But it's a lot heavier and cumbersome than the fs12t. I liked it a lot, but if I had to buy another one, I think I would go with the new fs12t. Mainly because of weight. It's only listed as 7 pounds, but it feels like a lot more.

I wonder how much tracking difference there is between the two.

Question about launching solo.

I'm 30 and lift regularly (kinda skrong) and have no issues launching a 60lb kayak solo with no cart. My plan was bumping up to the high 70s-80s lb yak meant I'd need to buy a cart to launch solo. Does that sound reasonable?
