Vintage 17' Folbot Folding Kayak 

It is in remarkably good shape for its age as it is estimated it was made in the 80's. The shell is in very good condition. I don't know the exact model but it looks very similar to the Folbot Pisces except that it is a one-seater instead of two like the Pisces. I used the Pisces instructions I found online to assemble this kayak for the first time. It was a bit of a challenge to install the first time since I didn't know what I was doing but the 2nd time I did it, it went much smoother and quicker and was able to do it in about 15 minutes.

Once put together it feels very solid though I never did get it out on the water. Flaws:* One of the round metal grommets is missing on one of the ends of the shell where the threaded rod of the frame sticks through the canvas. This should probably be addressed if it is to be taken apart frequently to avoid the canvas tearing. * A couple of the internal connection pieces have plastic knob pieces that have broken off. These pieces are intended secure the horizontal metal frame to the wood skeleton.

It can still be tightened with a vice grip or pliers though. Includes:Folbot shell, wood skeleton, wooden seat, metal frame, 2 carry bags to hold it all, and 1 oar that breaks down into 2 pieces. The whole thing is quite heavy so shipping will be pricey. classifieds board will only let me enter information for 1 package but there will need to be 2. I couldn't estimate the shipping cost but I depending on location it would be around $250 or less to ship the 2 packages.

1 package would be 24"h x 16"w x 32"l and 32 lbs. The other would be 8"h x 20"w x 60"l and 43 lbs. I fixed the shipping cost at $250 and will refund the difference if it is under. Local pickup in the Seattle\Everett area can also be arranged.
