Yeah, the Tarpon 140's a really good looking yak. I'm still thinking stable/wide is the way I want to go and the Tarpon 140 with 30" width is decent, but the Malibu Stealth 14 and/or X-Factor with 33" is still what I'm kinda leaning towards.

Admittedly, I like the slide trax rails on the wilderness yaks a lot better than I like malibu's design, mounted on the sides instead of the top of the yak -- which apparently can be only used with the x-wing. I don't plan on having a x-wing if I buy a malibu (don't like paddling around with what appears to be a low hanging bridge right in front of me for perpetuity) and I've been wondering if I could mount something similar to the slide trax on the malibu, mostly so I could have a rod or two in front of me when trolling live bait. I suppose I probably could just use one of those ball style ram mounts...
