Cut and paste yesterday's Tarpon 100 report, add 2 feet to the boat's length and you have my experience in the Tarpon 120. The extra two feet did add some speed and today I had no trouble maintaining a comfortable 4 mph. At one point I experienced a little weather cocking while running across the wind, a rudder could be added to the boat but I don't see where it'd ever be necessary as all it takes is an occasional stern draw kept things going straight.

Wonderful creative writing Jake. Really enjoying your experienced perspective with different boats. Makes me contemplate my own boat(s) and experiences with other boats.
