[QUOTE=MrPatrick;186566]That tarpon 120 is manufactured so much better. There really isn't a comparison.

You are joking about buying the Tamarak over the Tarpon right? You might want to do some better research!

This is a very very poor decision on your part.

There is no comparison the older wilderness system is far better and has a great reputation for kayaks.

Lifetime Tamarack=Yugo

Wilderness System=BMW

You can get the yugo for cheaper but it won't perform nearly as well.

my reasoning is the age of the kayak. it seems more logical to purchase a new kayak with warranty (albeit of lower quality than the tarpon). i understand that it is a great model and is widely respected and by no means think that YakMedic would sell me a faulty kayak.

Wow if you're going to pass on this then I might be interested, as I'm sure others would be as well

Quality of used tarpon>quality of new tamarack

I once owned an Ocean Kayak Scupper Pro for over 14 years and it still had a ton of life left. These plastic kayaks are almost indestructible.

The tarpon is a far better kayak used than a new Tamarack.

This is a total no brainer.

How many Tamaracks do you see out there fishing?

Not many.

There are tons of Tarpons.

There is a reason for that obviously.

That's funny you say that, I was thinking the same thing. I've only seen one or two being paddled in the safety of the marina by people that don't frequent the water. I have never seen one fished from or even rigged for fishing. I'm not saying that to kayak fish you have to own a certain brand, but there's a reason only a few different brands are fished over and over, quality and reputation. Wilderness Systems is right up there with Ocean Kayak, Malibu, and Hobie.
