Normally would not reply - but $3200 for a used boat is very high in my opinion. In a message dated 4/16/2010 8:28:55 P.M.

And I need to get on the water and get away, even if for a day or two... Almost bought an almost new Nordkapp Jubilee this week from my Storm Island buddy who gave up kayaking soon after that; the kayak has had almost no use: http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/11736138 It would make a great touring boat, with VCP rudder, foredeck pump, and built-in compass, while I work toward acquiring or making a day boat for serious play. However, the $3200.00 (though it does come with paddle/skirt)would go well toward a more updated, fun kayak - either a day boat or touring, that had a better hull for intimate coastal play. And if I did get a newer used Nordkapp I'd just reconfigure it anyway, and still not get what I really want.
