Sun Damage

Don't buy a kayak like this, even if the guy says it's "totally seaworthy"!

It's just some plastic welding done

I wouldn't float that thing in my pool let alone any body of salt water, but I would pay someone on a dare to take it on an Islander trip?!

But it comes with a kelp clip.

He is asking for more than I was for my scupper pro.... which is in 100x better shape. When I saw his, I figured mine would have sold immediately for what I was asking.
I assume this thing will never sell. But I'd love to know what he gets for it.

I have a feeling this is going to end up in someone that is new to kayakings hands thinking its a good deal and not knowing better and its going to end badly.... Hopefully not but I just have that feeling...

He's not even including a PFD, which would probably be the only solid floating equipment in the package. After seeing this kayak and his interpretation of "sea worthy," I'm guessing his backup yak is a boogie board!
