The trident 13 or 15 is definitely the way to go. I have a regular prowler 15 and love it and I've seen the tridents and they are just suped up versions that are better outfitted, so go for it!

The biggest difference in length is the manuevability and tracking of the yak. I got mine without a rudder to try and save money, but after a season of paddling it without one, I wish I just got one because in any kind of wind, it's hard to keep on a straight course. the trident 13 has a rudder already, so you will be super manueverable and easy to stay on track.

The longer yaks handle chop and waves a bit better too. I've paddled through 4-5 foot swells and decent chop although I was worried at times, the yak didn't hesitate at all and just went right through it.

All this said, if you got the funds, seriously consider the hobie peddle drive yaks. They are a lot faster and keep your hands free for fishing!
