I was wondering if anyone had this model and what they thought about it?

I actualy own 3 Tarpon 120 & 1 Tarpon 140 w/ rudder.
They are extreamly comfortable & manuverable. Not as fast as the Scupper pro but will keep up with proper paddle technique.
has pleanty of room for additions & storage. Stop by the shop they'll let you try it out right on the canal. Besides the Tarpon I'd check out the Perception Bimini 150. it too is a realy good boat. but for the Size the Tarpon 120 is a well developed vessel.

Thank you.
You talk about speed and manovering but how are they for fishing?
Is it easy to mount rod holders too or what would I need to do for that?
What about adding other attachments later?

So far I really like it and hope to sell my 23' boat soon to get one.

They are very popular with fisherman!! I have paddled one and liked it immensely. I had a great deal on a Used Scupper Pro land at my feet so I took it, but had the T-120 on my short list. Cannot go wrong here, but I would recommend you paddle a few and find the one that "Fits" your frame and style of fishing the best.

Thanks Guys I really am in a hurry even though I have to wait. It's killin me to get out there on one.
How is the 120 for off shore?
I really am leaning towards it but I know the test drive may change my mind.

Thanks again for all the input though I just wanted to hear from others on it.

I'll be sure and let y'all know when I get it and we can hook up on some fish.

I am not "up" on the T-120, but have heard all favorable reviews from folks that use it in person....

Here are some others..

This review page is a pretty decent place to start looking as you can try to weed out folks that match your Build Fishing style and see how different yaks compared with them. This allowed me to demo like 8 instead of 18 before buying.

Do yourself a favor and take your time. Bad yaks do not resell well at all.

I just thought that I might toss out a pic of the boat that I want to trade or sell for enough to get a yak.
