In the market to buy, stuck between two kayaks

Jeff,
   A quick thought about colors.....One of my yaks is a camo T120.  The other one is an OD green Scrambler Xt.  Neither one of them would be an easy find for the Coast Guard.  The bright, almost garish, colors would be a lot easier to see on the open ocean.  If there are other colors available, I would stay with the bright ones.  My next yak will be a nice bright color.

BTW, my son and I use the yaks for duck hunting, so the muted colors work for us.

I have a dark green P15. Great for hiding in lakes, but terrible on the ocean. Nearly invisible. I fly an orange safety flag, and that's all you can see from a distance.

Jdyak also paddles a drak green P15 BUT his paddle blades are bright neon orange = which is very visible from a distance - but only when his paddling. It's always a good thing to have a flag on your kayak. I suggest getting the bicycle flags that they sell in Sportsmart/sports authority for $5.00.

I like these flags from Kayak Fishing Stuff: http://kayakfishingstuff.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=FAC-sflag&Category_Code=si

They have mounting brackets so you can unscrew them when not on the water.

Ok, I know I said I was going to go with the P15, but after trying a Tarpon 140, I was comfortable, so last night I went and purchased a Tarpon 140. Bought it at Outback Adventures for $699. What a deal! Was around $750 with tax. Bright yellow. I can't wait to take it out! Maybe tomorrow after work. I'll post some pics later in the Wilderness Systems kayak section.

Was that with or without the NCKA discount?

Without, the discount is only on accessories only

Bummer dude!  Sounds like they still hooked you up though!
