[Dave] I have lost Alex's post where he compares the cost of the Seal Line rudders with the cost of a kayak in New Zealand, but I believe he applied the exchange rate incorrectly. The cost of the system uninstalled in the US is about $200 retail. This is about $80 NZ. I only wish you were right. $NZ 1.00 = US 0.40c If my recollections about Alex's post are incorrect, I apologize now... Accepted :-) Certainly uninstalled at $200US is a lot better. I'll check with one of our retailers and get the correct price NZ as he was talking to the rep last week. After I got back from the US last year our dollar sank below 40 cents US and slowly got back to 40-41cents over the last few months. What we do find is that a lot of inported things of other than US origin are the same dollar numbers here and in the US !! Makes for a cheap trip for someone who wants to come paddling here in the northern winter. Alex . .
