I think it needs longer reach with its tentacles. Here's what the kraken has:
20 ft./15 ft. (60 ft. with tentacle)

Caster level = HD (14th) for SLAs?

 

[BOZ]

i agree that it needs longer reach with the tentacles. judging from the picture in MCA1, i'd say that its tentacles are a lot shorter than a kraken's, though.

 

[Shade]

How about 40 ft. then?

 

[Mortis]

How about 40 ft. then?

I was thinking 30 ft., but I suppose 40 ft. would work too.

I'm fine with 30 ft., too.

Of course, they are supposed to be able to wrap around some pretty large ships.
