I hear "XT" stands for "crossover Tarpon" and that the hulls are the same except for more rocker (and or course the flared bow) on the Tarpon. What are other differences in these two older model 19'x19" Fenns? The Tarpon is deep seat version, adjustable foot pedals. The XT is same weight (fiberglass) with 9" elliptical surf rudder. 1) Is the seat placement and/or rudder further up on Tarpon making it easier to catch steeper shore waves (the building swells 100-200 meters off shore surfing towards shore)? 2) Is one more stable than the other? 3) does Tarpon surf noticeably better: less pearling, less broaching, better steering? I have the XT and can trade for same condition Tarpon, but only if Tarpon is a noticeably better surfer. It is used exclusively for riding these types of waves (no competitions, no flatwater, just surfing off beach, in and out over and over). Thanks, mickeyA
