thats the evil chucky....with a bluefish expression.:hihi:

Thanks to the links and info posted I have taken the leap. Made a deal with DonM at King Cove for a Tarpon 140 by Wilderness. Water is still damn cold, so will take delivery in May most likely. (Kind of depends how much you guys at the RISSA show beat him up!) I'm very excited and had a very good experience with DonM getting this done. Very knowledgable for the application I was looking for. Made sure I considered the little things I hadn't yet, like was I lefty or righty for rod holder locations. If you are looking, contact him or see him at the show as he apparently has been selling his alloted hulls as quickly as they are scheduled for shipping! Can't wait for that first sleighride! Thanks Don.

Nebe :uhuh:



from a Yak...that was wild.

I bought a Tarpon 140 this time last year and love it. Some guys said I'd take in too much water at 220lbs, but it's fine. Just a heads-up, use Ram balls, not Scotty mounts for your rods. They now sell a square base ram ball mount that will fit in the rectangular slots. They're not cheap, but they do a good job of holding the rods.

You'll also want to get a drift sock right away, before an anchor.

Anyway, the 140 is fast and stable - good choice and good luck.

Also purchased the 140 from king cove, top notch. I second the ram mounts they are far superior to any others. Do yourself a favor and get a rudder, it really helps when fighting large in current.
