Wanted:Old Tarpon 140

I'm looking to buy an old tarpon 140. I would prefer an older one with the Tupperware hatches but would also buy a newer one.
Its for a good friend of mine who wants to get in the game.

I have one with the tupperware hatches that I have not used for a long time. It also has a foot controlled factory rudder option. I am willing to get rid of it, but I have no idea what it is worth. I am in the Sacramento area.

OHV, if it is in moderately reasonable condition, I would give you $450-$500.

   OK How about $600?

there is one here in Auburn... Might be the one Mentioned above  Getting hard to find. I can haggle with him, want to drive up if i can get it for a good deal (5-600.00) https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/990771192272228/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A55ec5084-a43a-40db-be31-80db611370d7
Will need a front cover (about $100.00 shipped). https://www.tgwatersports.com/wilderness-systems-kayak-oval-hatch-cover/

I've been hunting for a Tarpon 120 and all I was seeing were Tarpon 140's and 160's.  If you look on Facebook Marketplace, you'll see quite a few for sale.

And if you see a Tarpon 120, let me know?

Hey Ron, thanks for spotting this. I will talk to my buddy and see how much $ he can cough up. $800 seems a little steep. I know he has $600 to spend so if you can negotiate that, I would gladly drive up there to get it. Thanks for your help.

Tarpon 140 is pretty heavy and long.

Ya, they handle the ocean like a dream though. My thresher and radar make the tarpon feel like it floats up into the rack when you lift it

Tarpon 140 is pretty heavy and long.

The older models were indeed heavy for their size, due mostly to a generous plastic pour.
Makes the hull stiffer than any comparable plastic yak of the time, so a pleasure to paddle but tougher to load and portage.
