Fished with a friend today who has a prowler 15…I was very impressed with it…much nicer than my tarpon 160! Thinking of getting one…looking for some “pros” and “con”
Mud
is it the trident 15 or regular prowler?
regular prowler cons
thin hull in places
ankle biter molded footwells
WET
pros
lighter than a tarpon (less plastic)
good tracking
responds well to heeling for turns
decent speed and stability

it is a prowler…by all means it wasn’t a wet boat. My friend weighs more than I do and we weren’t paddling in calm waters(today’s wind where rather gusty)…never did I see him get wet…have you paddled one of the new prowlers?

Mine was a 08. Had 2 of the Prowler 15’s and always had a wet butt and footwells with water. I’m about 200# and carry a lot of stuff.
I absolutely love my new tarpon 160 with the phase 3 seat. The extra adjustments make a ton of difference in comfort.

am wondering what the difference is between the old one and the new ones…from what I saw…this is a sweet ride.

not sure, the pictures look like they might have added some volume behind the seat.
It’s a pretty fast boat. The bow shape knifes thru chop. I’m sure you saw that today.

Just checked…it’s the powler trident 15.

better yak than the original prowler. rod pod storage console and sonar shield looks cool.
pretty slick boat.
