Monterey Bay Kayak has them, I want to demo one too.  Check first if they have them on stock.
I demo'd my buddies Ultra 4.7 2 weeks ago.  I was very impressed with its construction.

I just came from there today (the MBK at Monterey) and they have 2 in stock, one in camo and the other one is yellow. SWEET looking yaks :smt007 They also have one in their demo fleet. I would have demo'd one but I needed to get home before the PM traffic.

*The 2 things I would change on this yak are the two rod holders behind the seat. They are not angled like the Tridents so when your trolling, you can't see the rods from the corner of your eyes. Also, I would install a better rear carrying handle on the Stern.

BRAG ALERT!
I paddled Dan's new Ultra 4.3 today and it was bad ass. Paddles better than a Trident and felt faster than my T140. Mooch the flush-mounts behind the seat were angled out a bit...not 90* but about 45* which was good enough to keep an eye on while trolling. The flush-mounts on the side are angled forward though...instead of to the side. So not the best for trolling, but fine for soaking bait etc. I'm thinking the Scotty gimball mounts would be a perfect compliment though.

Well as many of you may have read by now,
I had some company (HamachiJohn) on the S.J. this Monday.
(Had a great time and look forward to fishing with you again).
I took the U-4.3 out for a maden voyage and this is my conclusion:
PROS
1. Definatley lighter than the 4.7 beast
2. Easier to paddle than the T-13 (quicker)
3. Turns on a dime
4. Well laid out deck
5. Will accept seat from "Necky Vector" http://www.neckykayaks.com/kayaks/sit_on_top/vector_13/
CONS
1. Wind turns it easily (Recomend rudder)
2. The seat and leg area is recessed deeper (harder to move around to get comfortable)
3. Feet wells are a little short for a tall angler
4. O.K. needs to come up with a better seat (verry uncomfortable) 
After a full day of paddling 10am till 7pm I was deffinatley saddle sore.
Aside from that, I was verry impressed with how well this yak handled the river. It was very easy to paddle against the current (quite swift at times) and would manuver like a sports car in the turns. It also handled the big open spaces like a champ, but could have used the help of a rudder when the wind was heading accross her bow. Although my larger frame filled the seating area compleatley, I will try adding a seat upgrade (Necky) before I make my final decision in that area. I was told that the Neckey seat is what this yak was designed for, and that you will sit a little higher and will help drastically in the comfort area.
I believe that this yak has some great potential for a smaller angler, But for us larger anglers, expect to make a few mods or check out the U-4.7.

Eric,

I have test paddled Taurus98's Ultra 4.7.  I like the transducer design that will take most FF models.  The plastic looks likes higher quality over the local Ocean Kayaks.  A rudder is a must. One take away is direct access to inside hull for storage compared to the T13.  Have you installed the add on rod tube kit?  How many rods will it take?
