Prowler Trident 13 vs the 15 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

What CJ said about is very true. A 15 foot boat will track and glide better on long distance paddleing. The shorter boat will handle better in the surf. I have an older p-13 and Im happy with its performance (Ocean and Bay). I do notice that when Im paddleing with people in bigger boats they seem move a little more gracefully. On the flip side while fishing in tighter spaces, I have a slight advantage.

My recomendation is that if you are going to fish primarly in the ocean covering long distances go bigger.
