I picked up a new Tarpon 140 and I am really enjoying this boat compared to my Malibu II barge.

I was looking to order some scupper plugs for the 140 but I am not sure what to order.  It looks like the Ocean Kayak size small would probably work.

Any recommendations?  I am currently using foam golf balls, but I need some more secure.

Small fits very well and does a great job keeping the water out (except for paddle drips of course).
Less Mental than before, Still savage AF tho <3

Thanks RF.
I know there will always be a little water down by my feet, but at least it will not be a live well. :fish2

Oh man, I am just waiting to land a big ling on my tarpon.  It may not turn as quickly as a Malibu2 but it is so much faster who cares. 

I think I will need to upgrade my waders for a wetsuit and then venture into the salt after Mr. ling.

Foam golf balls fit all scuppers.  That said scupper plugs in the ocean aren't my cup of tea.

Ditto. I only plug when fishing the Lakes.
