You wont have any trouble getting in and out of a locker on a P4, and will notice a difference in the ride and stability while fishing as well. Although the P2 will definately outrun a P4 on top end, i like the comforts of the P4 better,(comfortable= great ride, stable, large platform, tons of storage) especially being an older (fatter + bifocals) guy with dontwannafallinthelake syndrome ! Either boat will impress even the most discriminating tournament fisherman, so take your pick ! If i can help just let me know, D.
