The deck was simplified by removing the two short rods that reach back from each side to the front end of the cockpit.
Yeah, while I love my Quest 155, to be honest that short-rod deck assembly always seemed unnecessary to me. I forgot to connect them a couple times and didn't really notice much difference. The front of the deck sagged a bit, allowing more water to pool, but this was little more than a minor inconvenience.
The other changes seem pretty sensible. It seems like the 150 will be more durable and easier to assemble than the 155, but will perform similarly otherwise.

I think the link to the new 150 on your website is a bit buried. It'd help if you could update the "More about Quest and XT here" link in the "Quest Touring Kayaks" paragraph on your home page, in my opinion.

"Buried" is putting it politely. The only reason I found it is because I knew what I was looking for. The rest of the website is un-updated and continues to refer to the now-discontinued models.
As Kerry and I have mentioned more than a few times, we think Pakboats would do well to significantly upgrade their web site and marketing. While I love their yaks and their simple, pragmatic approach, I think sales would be significantly better with a more elaborate, detailed site.
