Wilderness Systems Tarpon 100

Wilderness Systems Tarpon 100 is a sit on top style kayak that is extremely versatile and can be used on ponds and lakes but is also well suited for surf. The Tarpon 100 features a Gen2 polyurethane hull that is durable but also tracks well. A Phase 3 SOT seat features an adjustable backrest, good leg support and improved air circulation over previous models. This kayak is great for the casual paddler and has an extra wide tankwell for storing gear. The Wilderness Systems Tarpon 100 is available in 10 colors including: sand, camo, orange (pictured), red, mango, yellow, spruce, light lime, light blue and blue.

Paddlers give the Tarpon 100 high marks, especially for recreational or novice paddlers. The boat is comfortable, compact and easy to paddle. The seat received many glowing reviews. Reviewers said the adjustable footrests make a huge difference compared to the standard molded footrests on most sit-on-tops. Besides the seat being comfortable and cool, there is also a small well under the seat so you aren't sitting in a puddle if water gets in the boat, a great feature. A couple paddlers said the tankwell in the rear is large enough for their full size dogs, which is nice if your dog will sit still for a ride. Another big plus for this boat is transportation. Both a middle aged female and a shorter male (5'6") both said they were able to get this on and off their vehicles by themselves. At the same time, the boat is also sturdy enough for a larger paddler. We had a 6'2" 255 pound male say he uses this boat with no issues.
