Vintage Folbot 16' 2-Person Tandem Folding Kayak 16' Collapsable

16' Folbot tandem, unknown age and model. I've had this boat for more than 10 years, but she hasn't been in the water for a few so it's time to move on to someone who will get some use out of her. This is a pretty wide, slow boat but i remember it being very stable. This is a wood frame Folbot, decent condition but not new by any means. I put the boat together today for the first time in a while, and it could use some new hardware and general cleanup/TLC but I got it assembled from memory.

I had a hard time getting the top canvas aligned with the frame but i think this is just me assembling it slightly off. Some of the brass hardware is corroded and could use cleanup, there are 2 screws/thumbwheels missing for the upper rail. The front screw at the nose has been missing as long as i've owned it, replaced with a regular bolt, but it really should be swapped to a stud and wingnut if you're going to assemble and disassemble it a lot. 1 of the little metal brackets that holds the ribs in place at the bottom was lost (don't recall this from last time i used it) so i made another one out of a bracket i had and replaced the screw, this should be swapped to stainless if you're ever going to get in salt water. The wood is overall in good shape.

The shell has some patches on the bottom, they all look solid but a couple could be re-glued at the edges. One of the poles has a duct tape patch, which has been there for a decade. I have not verified if it leaks or not, it was fine the last time i used it but as i said this has been several years. I have 2 carry bags and 2 paddles as well. The paddles are original pretty heavy by modern standards.

Local pickup only in Rhode Island. I had the poles stored together and could not separate the sections, so it may be unshippable anyway.
