Folbot has winter sales lasting pretty long (2 months?), and right now
Kodiak in "expedition" version costs 1500.  I don't know if it's still a
winter sale, but anyway, such price isn't unusual. Kahuna is 2300 in basic
version, sometimes it's possible to get it in Exp version for the same
price, but I didn't see Kahuna for 2200 (even basic one).  F-craft has
raised prices once or twice in last 3 years.  In Canada, after exchange
USD/CDN, may be its 2200 - but don't forget 14-15% of canadian compound tax
for residents.
These 2 boats are too different.  Kodiak is much wider and stable, more
suitable for fishing, paddling in rough seas without much skills, but there
is a price to pay - slower speed, less water-tight spraydeck.
