comments on used Tarpon 120
 

As you've probably seen I'm looking to get back into yakking. Trying to conserve the cash due to my youngest daughters wedding, so I eve put up my golf clubs for trade http://www.kayakfishingmafia.com/smf...efault/sad.gif

I came across a used Tarpon 120 04/05 for $550.00. It comes with everything but a fish finder (even the rods). I would appreciate any and all feedback on buying it. 185lb 5'7"

I'm trying to stay in the $600.00 range and other than all the knowledge on the forum this sounded good to me.

Thanks

Depending on your height/weight, seems like a smokin' deal to me...

As long as you don't outweigh the yak's capacity...:sifone:

If I had the $ I'd buy it...

Thanks TMan

So no issues with this model I should be concerned about, or any reasons I should wait to see what else comes up?

I have all the rods I need so I could probably make a couple of bucks on those too:D

I am 6ft and back in the day 185... :p It was fine for my ht/wt, should be ok for you.

it was thrashed
 

After several conversations and being told it only had the normal scrapes on the bottom, this thing was thrashed. There were drill holes everywhere and it generally wasn't taken care of. I wasted 3 hours of driving time back and forth.

I new for the money it was going to be used, I just didn't expect abused.

Needless to say I'm still in the market and I'm getting antsy to fish :reel:

I'm a yakker again
 

Picked up a nice prowler, so I'll be seeing you on the water soon

Prowlers are great boats, I paddled one in east cape, and was impressed.

man u should of bought that kayak dolly it looks like the back end of a BigWheel!:D
