Ive never tried the big game.

Im 6'2" 225

I bought the T13 and LOVE it, i feel very stable on it, only used in the ocean so far, havent tried the fresh, but its got to be a dream on fresh water... Love it on the salt! Wouldnt trade it for anything, im happy and comfortable, well comfortable for the first 5-6 hours, then like anything i need to move a bit!

t13 is great boat.  Big Game is stable as heck but a real barge to paddle.  If you are a really big guy, the t15 would be better than the 13.

I'm 6' 187# I'm looking for good stability and as much speed as I can get,the T13 seems to be very popular with the members I will be using it in fresh and salt water!

I have the big game and its perfect for what i use it for. ab diving, trolling with a downrigger or jigging around in the ocean. I'm not a very big guy but it cruises just fine for me.

T13 is way faster, nearly as stable( but the BG is like your dining room tabele)  BG is sow.  T13 has much better deck layout including the rod pod hatch.

Although I haven't had any marathon paddling sessions (up to 8 hrs only), the Big Game has worked well enough for me at 5'8', 210#. I cut my own 'rod pod' out of the useless tray below the cover. I can get rods with large Penn reels attached out of the hull with no problems. Since the tray on the BG is much narrower than on the Tridents, lid flexibility isn't an issue.

The T-13 is one of the best all around fish yaks ever made, its a sweet little boat.  The BG is terrible.

My wife and I both have big games and are very happy with them. I have never had mine in fresh water but 4-6 hrs of open water fishing has been great and since I moved from a Malibu2 to the big game it seems like speed was an improvment.Big seller for me was the 599.00 I paid for it so I am very happy with my slow barge

thats a great idea of cutting out the tray for a rod pod, i did the same and it turned out great.

Man go with the t15.  I've used mine in salt, fresh rivers and lakes and I love it.  The rod pod is awesome and it is extremely stable/fast

Thanks everyone for yours thoughts and opions. I'm having the same dilemma on picking out my first yak. Right now leaning towards the Prowler 13. Should be able to save enough to put it under the tree by x-mas.  :smt003

Maybe go with the trident for the little extra money and many more options. Either way welcome.
