Is the Tarpon 120 stable?
The second smallest in the Tarpon family, the 120 is a great compromise of stability, speed, tracking, and maneuverability. At 63lbs, it is considerably easier to throw on top of a car than the Tarpon 140. The maneuverability of the 120 makes it a great sit on top for a wide variety of conditions.

How big is a Wilderness Systems Tarpon kayak?
At 10 feet long, this kayak wasn’t necessarily built for speed, tracking, and gliding for extended distances. It’s short compared to longer, more touring style boats. It’s more of a short-range kayak that was designed for maneuverability in tight coves and small creeks rather than long distance journeys.
Can a tarpon be used as a skid plate?
Just like the Ocean Kayak Malibu 11.5 and the Perception Tribe 11.5, there is a replaceable skid plate on the stern of the hull so you can drag the boat using the bow handle when you are without a buddy or kayak dolly. The Tarpon 100 is the ideal sit on top kayak for long or short summer day paddling trips.
Which is heavier the Aruba 10 or the Tarpon 100?
Although the Sun Dolphin Aruba 10 and the Tarpon 100 share the same length, the Tarpon weighs in at about 15 pounds heavier and is a sit on top boat. It is noticeably heavier to carry and you can’t just balance it on your shoulder like the Aruba. But Wilderness Systems did put soft rubber grips on the bow and stern handles.
