Why I bought a Trident Ultra 4.3 to fish offshore in Hawaii

We've been fishing further away from the shore of Oahu, and my Scupper Pro felt tippy and overloaded with gear. I wanted a kayak that could handle wind and cross current if those conditions came up, would be efficient enough to propel (paddle or pedal) with the least amount of parts to break down, and have a center hatch large enough to store gear and fish. A transducer cavity under the hull, large enough for my Garmin EchoMap 44CV closed the deal.

Go Bananas in Kapahulu customized the bow and stern handles, rod holder, center hatch, seat and rudder, and my fishing buddy Frank fabricated a stainless steel mount for the transducer to fit high and tight in the transducer scupper hole.

In the 3 trips so far, I've felt much safer and have caught larger fish than I have with the Scupper Pro.

In the video, I do a brief intro as to why I chose the Trident Ultra 4.3, and John of Go Bananas walks through the improvements he made.
