Tarpon 160i/Prowler 15

Where is the best place in Norcal to buy a yak.
Thanks Jack

Not sure about the best place, but I bought mine from Adventure Sports (Watt Ave, Sacramento).  Large selection, good prices and helpful.......I'm happy.

If you're looking for a Malibu or Cobra brand... then Great White Kayak Company is your bet... located in Ukiah... this is Scwafish's business...

If your question is also about which one to buy, I had the same question when I bought mine.  It all came down to the hatch cover.  I tried to remove and replace the Tarpon cover sitting on a floor and found it took 2 of us to do it where the Prowler cover is easy.  The Tarpon cover looks like it might seal better but I have had zero leakage with the Prowler in rivers, lakes and oceans.

Norcal is a lot of real estate.  In the bay area, I would recommend Outback Adventures.  I had made arrangements to pick up my yak the previous day and the guy calls me from the store saying it had a scratch on the bottom and would knock off $50.  The scratch was cosmetic and I did a whole lot worse to it my first trip.  They were also very helpful in showing me basic loading and transporting.

Either way, get one and get out there - this is too much fun!

Kayak Connection is a good place to try both the Tarpon and Prowler on the water.  I bought my T120 from them 2 yrs ago after trying out several yaks.

Thanks everyone,
I am in the Modesto area and I found a dealer in Modesto that sells the P-15. I am going to check them out on mon. I think I will buy 1 w/out the rudder for now just to save a couple $$$. Any other advice?
Thanks Jack
