G'Day,

Paddling around Gallipoli two years ago we hired Kleppers and a Folbot. Some
of the travel was by tractor and cart with assembled boats loaded in the
back. The fittings on the Folbot did get damaged and caused some
inconvenience. The Kleppers were fine. I think the Klepper is more robustly
built as far as fittings are concerned. I don't have much experience with
the Klepper warranty. Used it once to glue down a reinforcing strip of
hypalon.

All the best, PeterO
