Thanks for the advice. I'll take a look into those. The Big Game was just one that I was looking at. I have a friend who owns a Prowler and loves it; I think it is 13'.

I just received a flyer for West Marine. They are advertising the Ocean Kayak Scrambler XT Angler Edition for $499
12' Long / 29" wide and 350lb capacity. Should be a decent all around fishing platform.

Thanks for the heads up.

I *really* like the Trident 13. I just need to be sure it will be practical given my circumstances.

I carried a redfish 14 on a honda CRX... NOT a CRV. It was fine. Don't let your car limit your Kayak choice.

Interesting. How did you secure it? I don't have any experience with kayaks and cars. Whenever I kayak now, it's always with someone who has a pickup.

Pool noodles on roof , 2 straps over Yak, 2 front lines, 1 stern.

I regularly do 75 on the highway w/it. Actually, now I pedal a Hobie, but it's damn close to 14' also.
