New to So Cal, Newb Yak Fisherman looking for 1st SlayRide - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm down to 2 kayaks, a Cobra Marauder and a Tarpon 160i so any input on one vs. the other is welcome. Both are good deals on used yaks. I'm fairly certain I'm going with the Marauder but I'm having a hard time passing on the Tarpon deal. It's $750 with everything needed except a bait tank. It even includes a nice fish finder and the thing has hardly been used. Seems like a really good deal. The Marauder is $700 and in great shape. It includes everything minus a bait tank and fish finder. I like the fact that the Marauder is a bit lighter and shorter so easier to load/unload on the roof of the car. It also seems a bit more stable and easier to turn.

Again, thanks for all the information you guys have shared.
