The new Wilderness Systems Tarpon 140 kayak delivers improved speed, better glide, and even more storage than its smaller counterparts. The Phase 3 AirPro seating system adds comfort and easy adjustability. For 2015, the Tarpon 140 features the Keepers XL footbraces which offer larger triggers and adds 5" of rail. The hull and deck have been fine tuned to offer increased performance while still maintaining the stability to stand and cast from the flat floored seating area. This well rounded sit-on-top is capable of adapting to a variety of water conditions by combining small kayak maneuverability with large kayak speed.
New Phase 3 AirPro Seating System and adjustable footpegs offer a comfortable and customizable fit

Long time touring kayaker here. I needed a sit on, because my knees limit my ability to get in and out of a sit-in. This 14' boat (I'm used to an 18') allows for speed. A rudder is an absolute necessity, however. This boat is stable, has plenty of storage, is stable, and has all of the rails and adaptability for a great fishing platform (I don't fish). It is HEAVY. But for a 14' rotomold, it's the lightest. I'm very happy that I can keep kayaking until the knee replacements.

I have been paddling for years (40 or more) I am on my 2nd Tarpon 14. Have had 12 & still have older two hatch model 16. I can say for sure if you wish to paddle in moving u need to have knee straps & plan to be using body english. Reason people have so many boats is no one boat(like guns) is good for all things. 14 ft. Tarpon is a little faster than most sot types. I would trade it for 12 ft. If i could, better for my use. Butt Oi have the 16 ft. And a sea kayak also. If you only have one not bad chose.

Kayak is highly visable in the water and remarkably fast. Though a bit difficult to handle on rivers, it is unbeatable on lakes. Handles swells easily and is a lot of fun. Difficult for one person to carry very far, but easy for two.
