I have officially crossed over :smt003,  just picked up my new Mango Trident 13 from Aquan Sports. Huge thanks to Matt and Joel for all your help :smt006, if any one is in the market to upgrade Aquan Sports is a place to go in my opinion you could not ask for nicer people. I am going to put some water time in on Saturday to see if she leaks and if not, its hole drilling time, theres time for fishing and time for pimpin  :smt003, photos to follow.

Hey Pat, I'll be asking you a lot of questions once you put in some time on the
kayak. I too have been saving some money for the new t13. Congrats on the
new ride and please, take lots of pictures on the pimpin.

Will do jedmo, the pimpin should be easy because the road has been paved all ready by the Trident Masters :notworthy: on the site. All I have to do is pick and choose what I like, going to try to keep it simple this time :smt044.

Thanks Jole will try to get her a little dirty this Saturday  :smt003

Congrats.  The T13 is a sweet boat, I think OK really nailed it with that boat. Looking forward to your "best of" hybrid pimping.

Pat, so the primary difference between the 13 and 15 is weight? So all you need is the rudder to get your tracking back to what it was.

Hojoman I had the 160i I don't think I will ever get that tracking back, that was a sweet paddling yak :smt007. This one is more manageable and has the storage I have been looking for.

Pat,
Congratulations on the new yak.
Will you be at New Malone's on the 13/ 14
This sounds like they had fun last year and I'd like to check out any mods you've made by than.

Hey Pat,
 Where did you get the orange box? Looks like a nice fit on the trident. I just unloaded my new Trident 13 and I'm ready for pimping! Looks like I have the exact same trident as you. Mango ,non-angler, with out the rudder.
 Thanks
Miguel

Looks great Pat!  What is the material you used on the black board that the rod tubes are attached to? 

Thanks - John
