advice please
 

Thinking about buying my first kayak for storage and transportation purposes I have been looking at wilderness tarpon 100 and mini x. Any feed back pros cons would be helpful. Thanks

Both are great kayaks. for the price the T100 is a better value as it includes 2 hatches and the seat for 650.00

Paddling wise the 100 will also track a little better. Its only real draw back is the weight is more than that of the Mini.

Do you know where t100 are Sold here in san diego. Thanks for your info.

You can get the wilderness boats at Rik O's Kearny Mesa OEX

I am pretty sure Rik even has one in stock!!!

I fished on the Tarpon 100 for a full season.
It's a good little boat.
When paddling next to my buddies who had long sleek fishing yaks I had to fight to keep up with them, it's a little slower, but you'd never notice that with out the basis of comparison.

But I still could go wherever they went, and caught the same fish they caught.

In fact, when the current was driving diagonal to the beach I had less trouble keeping the 100 going straight at the beach, likely due to the softer hull.
They're a gerat starter yak, and in your case, storage yak.

Mine was from Rik.
