Klepper Aerius Quattro XT 2 Man 17 Ft Folding Kayak NOS This is a new old stock Klepper Aerius Quattro XT folding kayak. This kayak was purchased new in the early 2000’s and has only been assembled twice since then; otherwise it’s been stored indoors, in the dark. The Jan 2021 price list at Klepper America has the Quattro for $6,690. From the 1997 Klepper dot com website: Weight is 82 pounds, payload is 850 pounds, payload volume is 22.5 cu ft. Beam is 34”, beam at waterline is 25-27”.
The Aerius Quattro XT is the “civilian version” of the Commando Model. It is the only kayak in the world with an adjustable boat hull. This unique design feature combined with specialized factory equipment meets the needs of the most experienced paddlers making it te right kayak for reaching places on the globe where only the utmost in performance and safety are required. The Aerius Quattro XT is built upon the proven Aerius Expedition design. In addition to those features in the Expedition model, the Aerius Quattro XT has a deck-circumferencing lifeline to facilitate optimal handling in any environment, and numerous equipment tie-down fittings are convieniently located throughout its length.
The most unique feature of the Aerius Quattro XT are two additional full integrated air sponsons (4 sponsons = Quattro). This innovative design further increases the loading capacity and maximizes the buoyancy and safety of the boat. Through variable inflation of the upper and lower air sponsons, the hull shape can be changed from V to U, enabling heavy load to be traversed through shallow water. The hardwood frame is available in black or natural color. The frame of this one is black.
Also Included: Two Klepper seats and Klepper back-rests. Two burgundy Klepper canvas bags are included for transporting the frame. Also included in a bag with backpack straps made by Long Haul that I think is large enough for the entire boat and cost several hundred dollars. The Long Haul bag is Model LHA-002 and is 35" X 24" X 9". All sales are final.
Please e-mail w/ any questions. Shipped UPS in one huge box because classifieds board doesn’t have the ability to include multiple boxes for one item. Also, classifieds board wouldn't let me select UPS Ground even though the UPS website states a 60" x 24" x 21" box weighing 115 lbs is acceptable. I am stating this because the classifieds board shipping calculator may not be accurate and I only charge the actual shipping cost. Thank you
