Access is a problem in the area where I live -- both in fresh and salt water.

It turns out that some of the places I really want to fish are pretty far from the nearest launch point. Speed is therefore a lot more important than I first thought. So, even though I love the Tarpon 120 I've got, I've already started to think about a faster 'yak.

I've paddled as far as 1 1/2 miles in order to fish. But I'd really like to stretch that out, both in fresh and salt water.

How far do the rest of you have to paddle? Do you wish you had a faster 'yak or are you happy with what you've got?
