The Scupper Pro is one of the originals when you go back to the days when you were either in a SPTW or a Cobra FnD. You went for speed or stability and didn't have a lot of choices in between. I went for speed and was always in the OK boats. I caught hundreds of fish in that boat including my first Marlin and some pretty big threshers and never had an issue. With that said some people did find it too tippy and in fact it was not as user friendly as the FnD and is certainly less user friendly and tougher to rig up than what is available today.
The SPTW is a great fishing kayak but just like any other time you are going to purchase a kayak you need to decide if it is a good fit for you. You start getting over 210 pounds and you may find it a tight fit and add a live bait tank you may find yourself riding lower than you like.
I am sure there are some pretty good deals on the SPTW's out there but if you get one for the price and not the fit you may find your are not too happy with your purchase.
