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.
