Trident vs Prowler T Angler

If you are talking about the Ocean Kayak Ultra 4.7...It's a FAST yak. It's pretty Fishy too.
I've had a demo for the last few weeks and it paddles really fast. It has a new hull design that picks up and goes. it's also a thinner layup of plastic so it's lighter.
The middle hatch is a cool flip design incorporating the fish finder and the hull has a spot for the Humminbird transducer, including the side image version.
It has a big tank well and yes a rudder is standard, as it should be on a boat this length.
The molded handles are cool, as is the flush mount pole holders.
If you are in the Redondo area let me know, and maybe I can arrange a test paddle.

I wasn't talking about the Ultra 4.7... which is sweet.

I was comparing the Trident 15 to the Prowler T15. They do seem to identical except for the seat and the rod pod cover.

Not sure, but you may be talking about the same kayak from different model years. According to their website, the only Trident is the Ultra. Although, the Prowler T has been traditionally called the Trident since they developed the Rod Pod and Sonar Shield. Before that it was just the Prowler. The newest Rod Pod cover has only been around since the 2011 models were produced. The old cover was basically flat, with a molded in cup holder. If that is what you are seeing as the Trident, then it may be the same model with a different seat also?

So,
It looks like the Prowler 15T Angler and the Trident 15 Angler are the same kayak hull with different seats and rod pod covers.

And the Trident Ultra 4.7 is a completely redesigned hull with a bunch of cool innovations.

I have had a Trident 15 (now called the Prowler 15T above) since they first came out in 2007. It is an awesome kayak, if I was buying a new kayak I would look into the Ultra 4.7.

For now the Trident sits, only to be used on those bigger surf launch days.
I've got one of those Hobie PAs now and lets just say... I don't miss the paddle nearly as much as I thought I would.

I stand corrected. I don't know why I could not see the Trident 15 Angler model on their web page before? I have both of the top 2 models, and both are stamped Trident? Apparently Trident means something different now.
