I am in the process of buying a used Native Ultimate 14.5 ft tandem kayak which is in excellent condition. Can anyone help me figure out how to determine/verify the age of this kayak? Do Natives have Serial Numbers or some other way to identify their age etc? I'm not an experienced kayaker..currently have a Trophy Beach 126 sit in yak which I like a lot,but now that I have used it for a year I want the more open roominess of the Native as well as something i can take my grandsons out in.
This is a very nice yak,but I would like to feel more comfortable about its age.The seller is the second owner and doesnt really have any documentation on it to provide me.Thanks for your help.
