Folbot Cooper Foldable 16' Kayak Yellow Folding Will Ship

Purchased by me in 2005 and used 30-40 times over the first 2 years. I have had it stored in my garage for the last 10 years. All pieces are accounted for and in good shape. The hull has various patches I applied using Folbot-supplied materials. I have taken pictures of the hull in sections so that you can see this.

The skin is very flexible and I don't believe it poses a problem other than cosmetics for a new owner. Also, I have a picture (last one) showing that one of the deck line holders is missing, but I don't think this will be that difficult to remedy. From the company info. The Cooper folding kayak is simple to assemble, easy to handle, and swift on the water - making it our most popular kayak! The stability and tracking are exceptional.

A light and easy to assemble, folding kayak with the Folbot revolutionary tensioning device, the Cooper tracks like an arrow, has good initial and secondary stability and gets up to speed extremely quickly. The Cooper comes with backpack, foot pegs and molded seat. Completely made in the USA. Frame is assembled completely outside the boat skin (no tools required) and then placed inside. Tensioning comes from our much-copied adjustable stern tensioning mechanism and two full length sponsons.

Tracks well, primarily because of the scalloped cross section of hull fabric when in the water. It creates the feeling of having three full-length skegs. Materials Hull: principal component is Elvaloy - a polymer with toughness and flexibility. It provides superior abrasion, tear, puncture and UV resistance. It does not break down over time and is resistant to changes due to prolonged exposure to heat, UV and salt water.

Your boat's hull will continue to maintain its shape, flexibility and color - and better protect you from sharp surfaces. Technical Specs:.
