The Tarpon 140 uses a flared hull that stays stable while still paddling fast and tracking straight. It has the Phase 3 AirPro seat, padded adjustable footrests, a large rear tankwell, an Orbix oval bow hatch and four SlideTrax accessory rails for rod holders or camera gear. It is a paddle kayak with no pedal drive.

Good to know

  • At 68 lbs and 14 ft long, a kayak cart makes the walk from the car to the launch much easier.
  • Use the SlideTrax rails to mount rod holders and electronics instead of drilling into the hull.

KayakDIY take: This is a paddler’s fishing kayak, and it shows when you need to cover water. Read my full Wilderness Systems Tarpon 140 review.
