Some one just pointed out to me a 1995 K-Light that is going for $1,525 on Ebay! It is: Title of item: Feathercraft K-Light Folding Kayak Seller: davidcortner_at_pobox.com Starts: Mar-29-00 18:52:51 PST Ends: Apr-08-00 19:52:51 PDT Price: Currently $1,525.00 To bid on the item, go to: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=296305366 The model is the old original form of the K-Light which weighed 29 pounds. It has the lighter hull material that the company abandoned by 1996 and a 2 piece aluminum tubular coaming; the combination allowed them to use a carrying bag that is several inches shorter and less wide than the current ones. I think by that time the company started putting on keelstrips that were of the heavier hypalon material rather than the light stuff. That would bring the weight to 30 pounds but prove tougher. Guess what the new price for that older model was back then? $1,580. So a five year old boat is at a bid just $55 less than the original price. True it does include the 4-piece paddle which then went for about $200. I am amazed! ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
