I recent purchased a used Trident 13 (my first yak) and I'm currently getting it rigged up to fish. In the search and purchase of this kayak my wife and I have gone to Lake Natoma and rented Tarpon 120s for a few hours of time. This coupled with kayaking in Southwest Alaska, my lovely better half has decided she wants a kayak, not to fish, but to just paddle around (FW only). 
  That said I am looking to purchase a used Tarpon 120 for her. I know its short notice but Mothers Day is coming up as well a birthday next month.
  Does anyone have a used Tarpon 120 that they would like to sell?  Any other leads would be much appreciated.
  We are both retired, still active and looking to get out of pandemic shutdown mindset...
 Thanks in advanced

They aren't a lot more expensive new, with good handles and without a bumch of Denver stickers, for pity's sake.

This is on Craigslist in Sacramento.  Good luck.

  Thnx guys for the input. I ended up buying the boat for under the asking price, cleaned it up, removed all the stickers, and replaced the all the handles. It came with a nice Werner Skagit paddle,  wife is happy!

The Skagit is a good paddle.  It is for a low angle stroke paddler.  You can use it anyway you want, but is she masters using her core muscles, paddling will be a breeze with the paddle.  Avoid the deep canoe stroke so many of us use when we are starting out.
