There's also another WS tarpon 140 for 395$ which is a great price! I always haggle with the prices so shoot them an offer of 300$ then see what they say just remember you can always go up when negotiating prices. Heck, i'd even offer a measley 250$ You never know how quick they need the cash. Just get a feel for the seller and then you can see if they're going to budge with the price. You alwyas want to wait for the right buy rather than to spend your hard earned cash on something you might want to replace later on. My kayak had a repair in the lower part of the stern(back) so i haggeled the price to 250$. The owner was ready to part with it since he was getting old and saving up for a boat. The tarpon 140 would be the best bet for getting an affordable kayak off of craigslist. Just my 2cents.

Edit* I own a tarpon 140 (not160). Awesome kayak!

So you are getting the X Factor? Great deal!

You are going to love kayak fishing my friend.

Good deal, you learnt the hard way. You can tip over any yak but you should be surprised how stable a decent yak is.

Definitely a good move!

Great to hear it's going to work out for you. The X Factor had everything extra rod holders, seat , paddle and I believe a Mark 4 fish finder. Hell that means it's got GPS as well as the sounder. A lot of guys don't have GPS. It'll help you re-locate the exact spot you mark when you find a fishing honey hole. You are going to be all set.

Excellent! X-factor is a great kayak! Much better than that Walmart kayak! Good luck with it!

I learned today that i have a sponsor for fishing gear. Norcrossmarine products. They are sending me their new hand held sonar system. I am sure i will also get much more gear in the future as patrick the owner sent me the mail directly.
