So Wildy's re-introducing the Tarpon 120 Ultraite?
FWIW, it's 12 ft long, 30 in wide, weighs 47 lbs and has a capacity of 350 lbs. I think it retailed for around $1,300 but me thinks this camo version will cost more.

I have a soft spot for real tree camo.
And for the Tarpon 120 platform.
Guess I am going to have to buy another kayak.

I thought that might be the case but I didn't remember the hatch and seat differences. I guess an advanced seat undermines the purpose of an ultra lite?

My guess is that they didn't want to invest the capital to modifying or creating a new mold to be compatible with the AirPro SOT seat. I'm not sure it would have been possible to properly thermo-mold the seat mount found on the Ride to accommodate the AirPro Freedom or Max seats.

whats the difference between thermo and roto? Different plastics and molding process.

Yes fellas. The ultra light version is back. It's ABS plastic like the KC or Diablo yaks. Durable but very lightweight. And now in the new Realtree Camo color.
