tarpon 140 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If it's the newer one with the locking hatches and the slide rails, definitely. I'm only guessing here, but if it's not one of the newer ones it's probably still a good price. If it's in good condition and has accessories.

Someone posted a good suggestion for buying used yaks. Stick your head inside, if it smells stinky and moldy it probably has/had a leak. This is one I would definitely try before I buy. Where this gets tricky is if the person does a lot of surf launches where water can get inside the best yaks.
