I think it is the same hull, call OEX and they can tell you for certain.

Trident
huge difference in storage capacity and fishability between the two. The Trident has a center console with a drink holder but underneath the hatch lid is a small sliding cubby to hold essentials, I keep my goodies in here for quick and easy access with absolutely no way for it to get wet. Trident weighs in a hair heavier but the fish finder compartment with the lid sealed the deal for me. I ride the Trident Prowler 13 and bought the Prowler 13 for my wife who is 115 lbs, she fricken rips in that vessel, soooo fast.

Either one is going to be a relativly wet ride and less stable than a PA. The secondary stability of both are very good. I agree that the storage of the trident is well worth while. The storage tray is gone with the newer models as well as the cup holder.

As stated the only difference is the rod pod and sonar shield added on the trident. I have the t15 and this is my 2nd yak so I had some things I wanted in my ultimate yak. The storage on this beast is second to none. Not even a honor or Malibu can hold a torch to the rod pod. If you have ever launched in surf larger than 1 ft you know you get wet and always face the possibility of flipping in shallow water with your expensive rods sticking straight up in the air. I can fit 5-6 rods and reels easily in the rod pod and pull them out after the launch and not even leave my seat. If you don't put rods in it, it holds pb&j sandwhiches and the like pretty well.
I did a lot of searching before I bit off on this kayak but for my needs it's perfect, it's fast, stable and has tons of storage. I still have yet to flip it, even launching and landing in 4-5 ft waves in Carlsbad. Drawbacks are weight, length (storage and transport) and no pedals. |

I love my trident 11.
I have both pods the older one and the newer one. I use the older one in the bay since it has the tray. Best kayak I ever owned. I thought of buying a Hobie Revo 11 but Aqua Adventures had this Trident 11 for half price so it was a no brainer. I like the storage ability which is much better than the Hobie Revo 11. |
