Thread: YOur opinion on this unit

I think this Trident 11 would suit my needs. I also may use it to float nearby bayous for squirrels and wood ducks in hunting season.

thanks to all of you for your input.

Sounds like your all set to enjoy! I think your making a good choice.

Dapet, sounds like your job is like the one my wife retired from. She was always ordering something we could use.

I hauled mine on top of my truck loaded down on camping trips before I bought a ladder rack. I looked at a lot at different online locations before buying one on ebay. It was $68 cheaper shipped than local with tax.
I have a 4x8 trailer with 18" side walls that someone in the family could use to carry their camping supplies in. I built a frame on it from a portable carport that will haul 4 kayaks and have the trailer for hauling camping supplies. The racks can be removed say a freezer is carried for food, fish and ice. A tarp is added to cover it all up.

That's a solid boat. Several people I know fish with it's larger brother the Trident 13 offshore in the Gulf. It is fast for its size, tracks okay (much better with the optional rudder kit if you'll be using it a ton), doesn't weight a whole lot, and come nicely accessorized from the factory. The hatch in the center is a good mounting spot for a small depth finder with the battery stored inside. Throw you a milk crate, small cooler and a minnow bucket in the back and you'd be set.

Just got it in !! Delivered to my office. Naturally I had a damaged side handle. But , I called the company and they are shipping me a new one.

Nice! But I think ya need a tad more water to really appreciate how well they paddle.
