This is the same make and model that the legendary Ed Gillette first took from San Filipe to either Mulege or Loretto for a trial run. He then kayaked from Punta Arenas,Chile to Panama. It is an outstanding kayak for ocean , Lake and river, but not white water, kayak. It is well designed and while not a racing kayak, it is still a pretty fast kayak for its class. The kevlar gives a stiff but lightweight boat and it glides through the water.
Its design is very stable. It weighs 40#, is 16.5 feet long and had a great capacity for paddler, gear and supplies. It balances on the under the gunnels grip from either side. It seems much lighter than its weight due to the excellent balance. I am including two paddles, the Carlisle adjustable angle blue paddle RS series -RS Magic, plus a collapsable paddle.
There is also a roof rack kayak adapter which I need to find, but paddles and roof rack unit are near Palm Springs and will need to be delivered to L.A. Where the kayak is located for local pickup. I still have not found my other gear, which others packed when I moved, so there might be some other extras available. I will include what I can find and will remain in touch if I do find them. This is a fantastic kayak with minimal wear.
The only thing needed is that the elastics need replacing and the handles also. The retail with the rudder is $3700. The asking price is somewhat in the bottom of the range for this hard to find outstanding kayak in outstanding used condition. Since listing,it was stored in the garage of my old house. Someone moved it and did a little minor gelcoat damage, so the price has been reduced.
Please pay by Paypal within 2 days, LOCAL PICKUP IN WEST LOS ANGELES to be arranged. I have moved away from the ocean and now have no local use of this kayak, so lucky person will have a lifetime top end kayak. Since I have moved, the pickup will be arranged by a friend. This auction is buy it now or best offer. The classifieds board program refuses to allow that change in this listing.
