I bought a new kayak!

So stoked right now! I just picked up my new 2009 Tarpon 140.
Sure is pretty. I'll have to come up with a nice name for her.
Let the pimpin begin! I already installed a flush mount Scotty in the console haha.

Nice looking yak.  The seat looks very comfy!  Post some more pictures after you're done pimping it 

ddddrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!! nice new ride, sin coast,

looks great sin. looking forward to watching it evolve.
I know its hard to be patient when it comes to outfitting a new boat but I think we are going to see more attachments to fit in the slide trax system in the future.
good luck with the pimpin

That is awesome Pat. I know you have done a lot of research on your next
purchased. I can't wait to see what it is going to look like afterwards.
Congrats on the new ride dude.

Yep, that is a good-lookin' ride!

See you on the water soon

Sweet ride.Pimp on.

So desperate is this man to catch a halibut, he tried changing rigs, he tried changing baits, he tried changing depths, he tried changing rod, he tried changing reel, he tried changing his underwear.

I don't think changing your yak is gonna help either fella.

(but if it does, can i borrow it?).

I was told it would be faster because it's red.  

Before I bought it (after lots of research), I stashed my 7' one-piece rod through the middle hatch...just to make sure it would fit. That was the final straw---had to buy it after that. And the ability to easily store rods below deck was a major requirement for my new yak---necessary for rough surf launch/landings.

The seat is ridiculously comfy. Reeeeeediculous! It's even raised above the seatwell, to minimize crotchrot on 8+ hour days in the salt.  

I am bummed they don't have more accessories for the Slide trax yet. But I have confidence they'll come out w/some great stuff soon. Although, I've already decided to mount the FF on the right footwell--fits perfect (I normally use the micro RAM mounts).

My only complaint is the seal on the front hatch doesn't stay in there. It fell out when I was merely opening the hatch. So I glued it in there nice and tight. It's completely water-tight.

long ways from the drifter of yours!

Hey, I won't hear a word said against Drifters!

Goddamn!!!! Jai Boi thats exactly the one i want T140 but i gotta settle for a use one since im tight on budget if you don't mind how much did you get it for with tax and everything?

  Sweet ride, Pat!  That's what I've been eyeballing for my 2nd yak (once my WAF account reaches an appropriate level).  Looking forward to seeing it on the water!

I can attest---this is true

Beauty kayak Sin Coast, I can't wait to see it get customized. WS has added some cool features & changed a few things from the 2005 model I've got.

One thing they kept is the sleek overall design, it totally shows in the whole boat pic.
