I fished on the Tarpon 100 for a full season.
It's a good little boat.
When paddling next to my buddies who had long sleek fishing yaks I had to fight to keep up with them, it's a little slower, but you'd never notice that with out the basis of comparison.

But I still could go wherever they went, and caught the same fish they caught.

In fact, when the current was driving diagonal to the beach I had less trouble keeping the 100 going straight at the beach, likely due to the softer hull.
They're a gerat starter yak, and in your case, storage yak.

Mine was from Rik.
