I had a T13. I loved it. Great kayak, fun to paddle and great in the surf. I upgraded to an Outback a few months back and will probably never go back to a paddle kayak. I'm not saying that the Trident was somehow flawed in any way, it was a great ride. But the Outback is just a whole new level of a kayak.
Hands free fishing is just so much better. Looking back, I can't believe how much time I spent paddling back and forth and not actually fishing...
Trident Pro's- Easier to move around. Lighter. Better in the surf. More storage below deck (Rod Pod!!!)
Trident Con's- Less time fishing, more time paddling.
Outback Pro's- You'll fish more. You'll enjoy being OTW more. It's simply more fun.
Outback Con's- Lots of hull-slap in the water. Not so good with storage of rods if you do a lot of surf launching. It also costs much more.
