Considering purchasing a clearance Ocean Kayak Trident 15 or Trident 13. Can purchase a blemished Trident 13 for the same price as the Trident 15 on clearance. Majority of time will be spent fishing bays, lakes and surf. Transportation and loading are not issues so weight of the yak is not that important, the wt difference between these yaks is less than 8lbs. Both are very stable kayaks, don't know if there is a difference in speed, I assume the 15 might track better and have a speed advantage. Any opinions or if any members have either of these Kayaks can comment I would appreciate it.
Speed and trackability how do the Trident 13 and 15 compare to the WS Ride 135?
Thanks

The 15 is a missile. Daveg has one. Very fast. Lots of room, too.

Seems like owning a Ride 135 and a Trident 15 would cover about every type of fishing situation

I have the Ocean Kayak Prowler Trident 13 and love it. Have only used it on lakes in DFW area so far but have no complaints. It tracks very well and I have no problem going long distances in it very quickly. Lots of space as well for all the random items I like having with me while out on the lake.
I have used a 10 footer a couple times and after using the 13, I won't ever do that again.

The 15 is a great boat. Like art said its a missile. Fast as can be and the weight capacity is around 550lbs.
