I agree but a Khats also rents for big bucks! I mentioned cheaper twice in
my message. There is no doubt that he could purchase and resell a boat for
much less then the rental. Also, don't under rate the K-Light. I've paddled
many miles with Chuck Landis in his K-Light and I had no trouble keeping up
him in my Nordkapp...many others in our group dropped back.

Bob,

I don't know about your buy-used and sell option.  

I've paddled with Julio (once) and based on what I saw, he's going to want a
Khatsalano or some other high performance, folding boat.  These sell for BIG
BUCKS.  The used Khatsalanos I've seen on the market sell for  well over
$3000 (as they should --- these are great boats)!   That's a lot of cash to
cough up.   Yeah, that means he can probably turn the boat around when he
gets back and recover the BIG BUCKS, but they also seem to take quite a
while to sell.  That ties up ones capital for a long time (assuming one has
the capital to invest in the first place).
