Seats are usualy extra, but on the WILDERNESS Tarpon kayaks, the seats are integral & therefor part of the actual kayak. Great seats aswell.

Basic hulls DONT normally have flush mounted rod holders unless you are buying an 'angler' addition, however, on the cost basis, you maybe charged alot more than buying the rod holders & fitting yourself.

Basically, you dont get much...however - the more you are prepared to spend, the more likely it is you can broker a deal.

Paddles might come with it, try get a paddle leash or atleast a boyancy aid aswell.

Definitly invest in a SCOTTY rod holder, position that at the front, obviously within arms reach...

Also, further to last post, a good kayak dealer will atleast allow you to sit in one before you buy it, that is essential.

A great dealer will take you and a few yaks down to a piece of water for a test drive.

If he reluctant, suggest that you may take your money elsewhere.
