Me Likie! Come in 11, 13, and 15 ft models? Any changes to the hull shape, other than the dedicated scupper?

The orangeish one looks like the end of the crayonbox.

Yes 11, 13 and 15, hull is the same, the pod is narrower.

No color changes over 2016

The new seat looks pretty comfortable.
Andy, do you know if they fit the older Tridents?

Narrower pod!!!. I had to shoehorn my 48 lb yellow into my Trident. What am I going to do with a 50.

Seats can not be used in older models, they altered the mold to accommodate the new design

One of the best fishing 'yaks of all time, finally revived. I'm glad to see it.

Did you paddle it Andy? I'm wondering about the seat. Is it higher or does it only look that way?

I did paddle it and will more when I get my hands on one hopefully around October. Front of the seat raises and lowers similar to the phase seating on Wilderness Kayaks to follow you contour with a raised knee. Step up in comfort, but still performance minded.

Looks good. hopefully they solved that problem with the center hatch leaking... and the seat looks more comfortable.

pairing up with a meter

will lowrance total scan transducer mount up with these new models? how about the helix 5 side imaging transducer like the one that fits on the ultra models? i have read that the through hull fits but you will loose down imaging?

I scoured the interweb looking for any that have been rigged and have only found stock factory walk arounds. Curiosity had me installing a Lowrance 83/200 transducer. I used the RAM Scupper mount, worked well. Not sure that big ol TS trans will fit. Wires were a very tight fit in the designated cavity.
