Upgrade advice

Revo.. No doubt. Peddle or paddle, done.

I've had an X-13 for a couple of years now. It does the job, but I wouldn't buy it if I had to do it again. I like the hull, but little details aren't paid enough attention to. Scupper holes are irregularly shaped, making them difficult to plug. Stuff like that. I also think the hull thickness is too thin. The whole thing bends when in the back of my truck.
I'd like a Trident or a Revo now.

For smaller paddlers the Trident 13 IS a bigger boat, its all relative. I am a bigish guy and still find my Trident13 convenient and adequate for salty adventures. I suspect you will find the variations in length in SOT effects paddle ability greatly as the are notably less speedy than touring type boats anyway.  My T13 is a F150, not a small pickup, not a F450, just right. Don't go dinky unless its hella cheap because it sounds like you covet a Hobie. Why not buy a couple? -Amos

GB- getting back to your earlier - if you plan alot of heavy surf launches, the rod pod and sonar shield on the Tridents are great features for protecting FFs and rods.  Both the P13 and T-13 paddle well.  But sounds like you are going with a Revo.  My personal preference is to go bigger on the Revo for the salt.  The Revo 13 is a proven yak on the salt, and all other applications.  I'd be hesistant to go with the smaller 11 in rough NorCal ocean conditions, but you might talk with guys who have used them.

If you haven't you need to padle eddyline 14' for an all around and salt. Boat  first their light at 50 lb you can pick up Carrie down stair by you self. Hobbies , tarpon 80lb pluss the eddy line has no rudder it glides across kelp like like it coverd in grease . It very stable. I sold my tarpon after buying an carrbian iam 59 and 175 lbs . fish in the ocean out Monterey bay weekly. Longer is better more stable with out width.
And easer to paddle. I also have an18' steath profisha but its in a different leag its the fastest sit on top I have ever paddled really nice when paddling big seas for 4 or 5 miles. I fish out out of both depending on conditions

The Trident 11 at 11'5" is under your 13' limit or the Trident 13 at 13'6" is barely over it. Both have roomy cockpits and the Trident 11 supports up to 400 lbs. and the Trident 13 up to 475 lbs. At your sub 200# weight a 300# capacity boat is going to be able to hold you and your gear and all the fish you catch.

I like the Trident 11 at its 30.5 inch width and 54 lb hull weight. The longer boats are a little faster but also have more windage to deal with when it is blowing out on the ocean. The extra storage capacity makes sense for camping to hold lots of gear but it is difficult to see the value for fishing.

Of boats to consider I would also add the Native Watercraft Slayer 12 which is exactly 12' long and 31" wide and weighs in at 65 lbs. or roughly the same as the Trident 13 Angler. Both the Slayer and the Trident 13 are designed to make it easy to install a fish finder and the Ocean Kayak angler boats have a special scupper for using a transducer.

The Trident boats have the Mod Pod for easily mounting a rod holder in seconds with no drilling and the hold under the hatch is very large for holding gear or fish and more practical with its large rectangular opening than the 8" round hatches as with the Hobie boats which is much more limiting.
