Another thing about the tarpon that I like and can't do without (I have the 2014 120) is the large center hatch. I go in there all the time on the water and put tackle boxes, camelbak and hard sided dry boxes in without an issue. The large, easy to open front hatch is freaking awesome too but I have only gone in there twice while on the water. I mainly use it to store a big insulated fish bag and yak cart.
The only downside of the tarpon I have noticed is that you don't have access to the inside of the yak under the tankwell. Certainly not the end of the world and the pros far outweigh the one con. But that is my honest opinion.

Thanks for everyone's input, Tarpon 140 it is, now just to select a color. The new Native Ultimate FX 15 look like a nice Kayak.

Have someone stick some SuperNovasFishingLights inside hull and see what color looks best at night! Every shop should try to get some pics with lights shining through hull in dark to show customers what they would look like with different color light combinations so I don't have to do it myself next time around.

You can't go wrong with your selection of a Tarpon 140. We have several T-140s in stock at some good end of season savings.
Call me or come by and see Dave Potts or myself for details.
