Wilderness Systems Tarpon 140 with Slidetrax

Erick · Post by **Erick** » Sun Sep 06, 2009 3:25 pm

Finally got around to rigging my Tarpon 140. Only had to drill two holes for the rear pad eye for the anchor trolley, thanks to be able to use the Slidetrax. Here it is fully loaded, minus a depth finder which I do not have but I did use the Sideboard plate to see how it would work.

Very sharp set-up Erick! Three questions though...

1. Why is the cap on your beer?
2. What brand of rods are those just behind the seat?
and
3. I noticed the position of the foot pads or rests. Has Todd been using your kayak?

1) You notice the beer is missing from the rest of the photos, right?

2) Those are Quantum Specks and Reds Rod....like them, but not as much as their Cabos

3) Todd is coming to visit for the TKAA event in Sept, just wanted to let him know he would fit in the kayak, since he is using one of mine!

I am still working on mini fridge and tv.....after re-thinking I would move the tool holder to the middle of the Dashboard...not that I would use all that on there, just curious as how it could be outfitted. I have used the Scotty holders on the Slidetrax and like that.

I am going to outfit a measuring board to the Slidetrax that is around the tankwell as measuring fish for tournaments is one of the biggest issues. It will be mounted similar to the Sideboard but obviously longer. And also have holes to mount where the Dashboard is currently located. I think I lose my rain gutter every time out.

shouldn't your light be above your body height ?

I have the extender for the light, but I dont paddle in the dark I just leave it on there in case I need it for something.
