I know the Trident and Prowler are not much different, I have a Prowler 15, and a buddy of mine has a Malibu and we have paddled side by side and speed wise they seem to be pretty equal. Not sure how they handle paddling out in the surf, but my prowler slices through the surf very well and handles very well also. I was paddling with two other buddies yesterday 1 was in a Trident 13 and the other in a trident 15 and they were going through the surf smooth and fast once they got beyond the surf. You won't go wrong with a trident, but I would at least test all of your options before buying. That also includes the Hobies, test out all your options.

The bait tank is cool had a problem the first time but was user errors! Let's just say make sure you put your drain holes in before going out! . But lacks storage if you add a crate in front of the back hatch or add a crate toward the far back if you have long arms then your cool . Its a trade off With bait tank for storage.
