Not quite the same as the 160i, but close. If anyone ever sees a 160i for sale, please let me know.

I will keep my eyes open for t160i for you.

*I think when I have to replace my tarpon ...I'm probably going to a composite/ carbon South African import. (Stealth, Pro-Fisha 525)
Have you seen these?

Last year I paddled a Pro Fisha 575 - very fast and surprisingly stable for being so narrow.

I sold my PA and bought Eddyline C-135 Yakattack edition and I've been in it three times and coming from the peddle PA 14 this yak feels to be the fastest yak on earth!!lol it cruises at 2.5 mph with barely any stroke of the paddle. Having never paddled before I don't really know how fast it should be. On glassy water I got it up to 6.0 mph but then again in the right shoulders(young and in shape) it will fly !!

Fastest?? Hobie Tandem Island w/2.3 HP Honda. Can cover 50 to 75 miles in a day. Sailing/peddling/motor or any combination, 1 gallon of gas will do it.
Of course your limited to your launch/landing locations, can't risk rolling over in the heavy surf with or without the motor.
