"I can't speak for the 100 but on my T120, I was able to reach all the way to the back seat nuts and they are molded in. The nuts that hold the side straps are fairly easy to reach.  "

"I don't know about the 100, but I installed one on my Tarpon 140 and it made a world of difference. The only problem I can see you having is running the cables if there aren't pre-drilled holes for it. The 140 has pre drilled holes with…"

"It should be a lot easier than a Tarpon 160.  I have come in on big baja surf, and managed to land. I have a Tarpon 120, and it is kind fun to surf waves in, because it is shorter, and you can lift your bow on steep waves.   Below is a pic…"
