I believe the kayaks (VCP and NDK) are shipped without footpegs installed. This permits the new owner to install them where they want them. It is my understanding that the boats are imported by Great River Outfitters in Michigan and from there shipped to various retailers. The retailer then install the footpegs, or should install them, as part of the sales process. I know this is the case with the Small Boat Shop in Norwalk, CN from whom I purchased a Skerry XL last year. I believe the retailers can also request GRO to install the footpegs. Now, if you need to install them, it really isn't very difficult. Measure carefully, drill the holes and whalla the footpegs are ready for use. Actually, that should be measure 3 or four times and then double check again. sid *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I bought it from GRO who ordered it from the UK. When I showed up to pick it up it was still wrapped in plastic, as shipped. The only thing they had to install after unwrapping it was the deck compass. The foot pegs were already installed. BTW, GRO's basement is every bit as interesting as their showroom. Racks of kayaks, work table with pre cut blanks for bulkheads, etc. :) Mel "When cryptography is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl." *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
