Malibu kayak X13 or stealth 12 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I love my X-13. It's kind of a smaller lighter Trident, almost identical in hull shape to the Trident 13.

Where the X-13 has the same bow shape and general characteristics of the of your trident, the stealth is blunter and wider with a front end more like a mini-x or x-factor. That makes it more stable, but also slower, especially into the wind, or into chop. They are nice yaks but not as fast as what your used to.

I'm 6'1" and 180 pounds, own six kayaks, and the x-13 is my favorite fishing yak. It's not as fast as your T15, but pretty decent. If you like the handling of your Trident you'll probably like it, and it's a lot easier to get on the truck.

I also have the trident 15. I'm picking up a S14 for a little more stability. These are great to stand up on in the bay and cast from.
