2015 Tarpon 140 *Sold*

I ended up picking up a yard- sale square stern canoe and have run out of space for boats so my tarpon 140 has to go.

Full details:
The Bad - I bought it used and it looks like they'd stored it right side up, so there's a touch of english to the keel if you look hard enough. There's also some slight oil canning in the center of the hull (all visible in the photos). The backrest was also cracked when I got it, my solution involved heavy gauge wire and epoxy which has held for me over the last year or so. The hatches on this era of boat also have a tendency to let some water in if you're taking a lot of water over the top.

The Good - It floats! I added flush mount rod holders in the back and replaced all of the bungee with fresh orange bungee cord. I also installed an anchor trolley and some yakattack mighty mounts. While it's not much for standing and fishing, it's a pretty darn quick kayak and I found it to be very stable when sitting. The side handles have been replaced. I've also treated it semi-regularly with 303 to try and keep it fresh.

For NCKA I'm thinking $330 $280 seems a fair price. I'll definitely miss it, but my kiddo just keeps growing and very much prefers the space in the canoe.

Located in the Sacramento area. 

What an awesome deal! Good thing I’m not closer, otherwise I’d risk the rage from my lady for getting an “excessive “ 5th boat

I can relate!

What is "excessive" really though anyway?

Have a young beginner kayaker interested in this boat, I’ve been asked to help.  I work in the bay area, South San Jose, I live in Boulder Creek.  Is there any way to get this kayak down my way?
