Wilderness systems Tarpon 160

I have been thinking about buying a Tarpon 160 from wilderness systems. I like the way it sits and it seems to have a low center of gravity, but most of all they are FAST. Anybody using one? Tell me what you think.
I am going to test one out next weekend. If I like it my old faithful will go bye bye.

I have a tarpon 14 and I love it. I love the slide trax and it is a very smooth kayak to paddle.

I have the Stealth 12 and my Son has the Tarpon 160 and he is quite a bit faster than me for sure...He is also 30 years younger.

WS 120, I can load/unload 10x faster than most guys and their yaks on the beach, slide trax are a great feature, smooth, I can reach everything easily, Stand it up in the garage, fits in the patio.

BTW what is old faithful?
