The Tarpon AD-46 is a lightweight and functional semi-rigid boat, designed for spearfishing, fishing, and diving. Its modularity allows customization of the fittings according to the specific needs of each user.
The Tarpon AD-46 is often equipped with a 30-horsepower Mercury four-stroke engine, but for family use or activities like waterskiing with a larger crew, 40 or 50 horsepower engines are recommended.
In navigation, the Tarpon AD-46 offers a top speed of about 23.8 knots and good balance in light chop. It is quite comfortable in swell, although its acceleration can seem a bit sluggish.
The Tarpon AD-46 features a stripped-down configuration, allowing for customization. You can add helm consoles, different types of seats, a roll-bar, and even a locker seat for extra storage.
To improve balance, it is recommended to add a storage compartment at the bow to counterbalance the bow rise, as well as to consider repositioning the console for better stability while navigating.
