I sold my Tarpon 130 and am looking for an X factor, Fish and Dive or something like that. I need something with a lot of internal storage and large center hatch.

I'm on a budget so I'm shopping used or closeouts.

What's your budget number and how far will you drive to pick-up?

I don't mind driving. Cost depends on the yak. There is a fish and dive in the SLO Craigslist for 450. My computer won't let me send messages to CL ads. I'm trying to contact that guy. I look at the drive as an opportunity to go somewhere and fish/dive.

I have a Marauder, I think pretty highly of the layout and stability, and it paddles easier and may be lighter than the FnD.  But with that said my first Marauder cracked, and my second one had a hole in it (about 1/8" square) from the factory.  I think the Maraduer is a great dive boat but right now I'm just not sure of Cobra Quality,

I like the layout of the maurader but I've read enough complaints on here to cause concern.

Just right click on the address copy then open up your E-mail and paste it you should be good to go. My sis's has the same problem, I think it happens because you don't have outlook configured on your computer but your computer still has outlook as the default E-Mail.

I think I got it. I'm torn between big center hatch and faster kayaks. Why can't they make a Tarpon 160 with a big center hatch?
