Is the dark side calling you?

Hinged, lockable hatch covers. Rails, front and aft located on the sides for mounting accessories.

Cleaner lines.

Should be available soon.

I just have an opportunity to buy one at a good price, I was thinking about selling the redfish I bought my girlfriend (which she doesnt use alot) and buying a t160i for the windy days or long hauls

Yes, I have a picture of the new hatchs and rail system. As soon as Photobucket comes back up, I'll post it.

The new Tarpon will also have adjustable back rest on the new seat.

Improvements

Tarpon 100, 120, 140, 160

Increased tankwell size on all models (in fact, the Tarpon 100 has more capacity than the previous 14-foot model)
Improved bow lift for gliding
Raised floors for drier ride
Patented new scupper tube design for unmatched water-tightness

New Outfitting

The Phase 3 Sit on Top seating system (height adjustable back and leg support)
Orbix hinged hatch covers (with lever-lock)
SlideTrax accessory rails for add-ons without the use of tools

Check out the new Orbix hatch, for easy open and close storage. On the right side you can see the prototype of the new SlideTrax accessory rails for no-tools required outfitting.

That photo looks like a photo taken up someones skirt.

Is that made out of the same type of material as the Phoenix? Love the look of those hatches.

I take it you have experience with that sort of thing?

Not my photo, found a website that had a reveiw from some trade show. The internets is an amazing place.

Yeah, but will I catch more fish with one of those?

Redfisher · Post by **Redfisher** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 9:19 pm

I bet it will be $300 to $400 more now.
I bet they still won't be "fat guy friendly."
I guess I'll go ahead and loose some weight so I can join the dark side.

...or maybe I'll start a new trend and keep what I have as long as it still works. That's gonna be tough.
