Nautiraid Folding Kayak Simular To Klepper Aei Expedition

Nautiraid Folding KayakUnknown Model. This kayak has a hull comparable to a Klepper Expedition which I have. The hull is soft and supple with no apparent weak spots that are visible. The top appears to be PVC with no holes or tears. Apparently a mouse decided to snack and created a 2 inch hole near the stern.

It nicked the end of one of the sponsons. The outer hull was patched with a Hypalon patch. If you think the sponson is repairable with glue or heat it could be folded over and used. I am including two sponsons from a Klepper AEII if you want to swap it out but I cannot guarantee a perfect fit. I am unsure if the stern frame nose plastic is original or a repair.

One of the ribs was replaced with plastic marine wood. There are two zippers on the stern of the hull. The inner zipper was corroded and removed. The outer zipper works fine. I am including a replacement zipper pull that will require pulling the thread from the end of the zipper to replace and then rethread.

Inflatable seat and storage bags are included. The length of the kayak is approximately 196 inches, a little over 16 feet. Shipping is only in the Continental United States by FedEx Ground. If you are in California between San Francisco and LA communicate with me since I routinely visit the grandson in LA and may be able to deliver. Along 99 or I-5.

If you know Nautiraids it would be helpful if you can identify the correct model of this kayak. I would love to keep this kayak but my wife says I have too many folding Kleppers. Not true there is no such thing as too many kayaks.
