Re: [Paddlewise] kayaks for sale

If anyone, in range of Southern Maine, is in the market for a fun kayak
to play in, Michael's El Chupacabras is a blast.  Balance braces are
trivial.  Hand rolls are easy.  I'm 165 lbs and hadn't noticed the
freeboard - if you are in the 140 to 170 pound range, and interested you
might try it, despite Michael's 140 pound recommendation.

The 18" beam shouldn't scare people off as you sit low and the bottom of
the kayak is relatively flat.

Alas my house is being high maintanance or I would be trying to talk my
wife into another boat in the fleet...
