It was 14'9", closed cockpit with 3 inflatable tubes on each side and a fiberglass hull-keel strip about 12" wide and hinged in 3 places for folding. the deck was The boat weighed 40lbs and had a cordura deck with a rear hatch that was flush, with an internal roll-to-close seal. The boat has a total of 7 parts and was comfortable, fit well, not too beamy and was fitted with a rudder. It tracked well on the carpet. The boat was designed in Hungary and is manufactured there in a factory owned by Avon. cu Bob Denton Aqua-Gulf Transport bdenton_at_aquagulf.com www.aquagulf.com <http://www.aquagulf.com> *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
