WS Tarpons and small water

Still in the search for my first SOT (and dedicated fishing yak).  I was about to pull the trigger on a discounted BGII, but decided to hold off.  Today came up with a left over Tarpon 140 that I can get a good deal on.  My SINK is a WS Tsunami (tank) and I love the seat.  With the same seat in the Tarpon--and the additional ease of paddling over the BGII, I'm leaning this direction.  Question for those that have the T140: what is the smallest water you have been in?

I plan to primarily use this in local lakes and rivers, big and small.  Oh...and how many people actually stand and fish?

I have been in small ponds and done multiday trips on low rivers out a trident 15,  bigger than the tarpon. It's better than having a small boat in big water.

I have the Tarpon 10, not the 14, and use it extensively in small rivers and lakes.  Mine does fine in lakes and small waters with two watch-outs: me and the seat make a fine sail and it can be a weather vane in strong quartering winds, and depending on how small the rivers are that you're discussing - I paddle really small rivers - you'll be walking it over gravel bars almost as much as you're paddling it.

I don't stand.  Never found a reason to stand up in a kayak.  I can drift in close enough that I haven't had the need.  I would rate the Tarpons as having a low initial stability because of the hull design, and I'm not the most stable thing on two legs.  Your mileage may vary.

And my "Mango" color seems to frighten small fish.  Float across a weed patch and the itty-bitty fish flee as fast as their fins will move them.  Hasn't seemed to affect the larger fish, but Mango seems to be pretty visible to fishes...

Fourteen feet seems long to me for lakes and small rivers, but that's just an uninformed personal opinion.  And as yakbass pointed-out, whatever small drawbacks it might present in tiny water is outweighed by being ready for big water.
