With some regret I’m selling my trusty T160

One of the best hull designs of all the plastic kayaks. Good in rough water stable and fast

Big hatches fore and aft, I couldn’t understand why WS eliminated all that stow space. Never need to lose gear if you can stow it

Great fishing and dive yak

Nice aftermarket rudder by The Blade

I will throw in a Swift paddle and nice PFD


$600 obo

We are in Menlo Park, PM me if interested

Mix of reasons for selling, mostly just getting rid of things I don’t use anymore and making space while I relandscape our place

If the dark side means pedals instead of paddles, maybe next year. The AIs look good

Tough decision to sell the Tarpon, had a lot of good adventures on it. Possibility I may be selling the Stealth also but not sure yet

The T160s are great yaks by the way, seaworthy and fast for plastic

Whoever takes it won’t regret it

I left the hatches open to give an idea how much stow space there is

My girlfriend had a Tarpon 140 configured exactly like your 160 with the long hatches. Same color even. Holy hell was that boat fast ! Solid, sleek yak.

That kayak with the two large hatches was never made in a 14' Only the 16'.

When I bought this there was a faster yak (18’) was the only one of all the yaks I tried that was faster but nowhere near as stable as the T160

That is a great deal on a great, classic kayak.
