Wide, stable, and tricked out for fishing, that's the Trident 11 in a nutshell. As one might expect from a boat over 30" wide and under 12' long the Trident 11 doesn't take any prizes for speed, yet it moves along with less effort than other fishing kayaks I've demoed lately. Today I went from the Aqua Adventures dock around the marina and out the Jetty to check out the surf conditions. It did move along well enough for a boat of it's width and I even clocked a 15 min. mile (4 mph) coming back in the jetty. It is comfortable enough with the low back seat slings that I like so much. The one thing I would do if I paddled this boat regularly is put a scupper stopper in the front right scupper hole. That scupper hole is designed for a depthfinder transducer and without something in there you have a constant slap and suck sound to entertain you.
