45 positive/perfect reviews of the Tarpon 100 have been added here since I first put in my review on 03-03-2011. That fact illustrates the exponentially growing popularity of this 10' SOT. I decided to add another review, now that I have enjoyed my Tarpon 100 over 150 "trips", spending many hours most times on it. My trips have stemmed from over 40 launch sites, many of which would not be approachable with a bigger heavier boat. The scope and diversity of my experiences on my Tarpon 100 have convinced me that anyone who gets going on a Tarpon 100 will be "SOThankful" for choosing it.

The Elie Horizon 100 is a clone of the Pelican Apex 100, through some branding agreement.

The Elie Horizon 100 is my second 10 foot long sit-on-top. There are probably 100 or more reasons I love 10' SOTs. This one was a great value proposition.

My first 10' SOT, the Wilderness Systems Tarpon 100 is way more costly than the Elie Horizon 100 but the Tarpon 100 (in absolute terms) is superior and I think it is the ultimate 10' SOT.
For the money, the cheaper Elie Horizon 100 is a respectable second (but not main) kayak.

My first 10' SOT, the Wilderness Systems Tarpon 100 is way more costly than several other 10' SOTs such as the Elie Horizon 100 and Pelican Apex 100 but the Tarpon 100 (in absolute terms) is superior and I think it is the ultimate 10' SOT.

There are probably 100 or more reasons I love 10' SOTs (10 foot sit-on-top kayaks). Too many to list here but if you try one you'll wonder why you never did sooner. Don't let any more time slip by; go and get a 10' SOT and BE HAPPY.
