Yes, I hope it wasn't a breech!
And a "joy to row" as well!

Agree on the odd description.  "Row" a kayak?  Is that the term commonly 
used for paddling a kayak in WI? 

Beautiful boat.

Way odd.  Responses to queries are odd, also.  Note that the seller does 
not know beans about boats (birth in lieu of berth; that's a cockpit not a 
berth; storage compartments are bulkheaded compartments, etc.).  Gotta be 
either a hot boat (unlikely -- too distinctive to conceal) or someone 
selling a lost loved one's pride and joy.  One hopes with permission or as 
part of sale of an estate.

Can shipping run to $400 for a kayak?  What's the reserve?

I thought the same thing about the replies to queries.

I'm guessing not hot, either.  Would be nice to see photos of the hull.  
$400 seems pricey for shipping but then, I haven't had a boat shipped in 
years.

Shipping cost.... cost me more that $200 to ship my LongHaul Mark I from
Houston to California...$400 may not be so bad...i'd want to be protective of
the hull.

Actually, I'm wondering if it wasn't bought at an estate sale or 
auction.  That's why no explanations as to its origins and absolutely no 
knowledge of the kayak construction.

With most hand crafted kayaks...often the builder/seller will indicate the
model or kit or all orgional.
