Best kayak seat on the Market!

Rating:*****
The Phase 3 seats in this new Tarpon 100 are amazingly comfortable...I've paddled for many hours with no discomfort. This kayak is also very stable..if you're looking for excitement in white water, it wouldn't be for you...but for recreational paddling in calmer water, it's perfect. I'm able to sit sideways on this kayak without tipping over! The biggest drawback for me is the weight..I'm a small person and it's somewhat difficult to unload/load onto the racks without help...if a few pounds could be shaved off, for me it would be perfect.

Very happy with purchase

I live on a lake and was looking for another kayak (we have 2 Prodigy 10s right now). I wanted something that would work well for fishing, paddling lakes, rivers, ponds and overnights. I hadn't paddled a sit-on-top before, but now I'm sold. It's VERY comfortable, fishing is a dream. The kids can take it out and use it as a mobile raft too! The boat is extremely stable and has all kinds of accessories for stowing gear, adding rod holders, etc.

Very pleased

Spent years using a sit-in style kayak. After weeks of research went w/the sit-on-top Tarpon. Very pleased w/my decision. I found the Tarpon to be stable,comfortable and easy to paddle. Tracks well under calm conditions. Found it to be slightly effected by the wind. Much like a canoe. The more time I spend w/it the more I like the layout and smart design.
