▲ 2 r/Kayaks

I found all of these on Marketplace
The Aqua Bound Tango paddle is in perfect condition
Paid $80 with a bag

The Yakima rack came with crossbars, the saddles, wind deflector, $150

I found the Necky Dolphin for $275 and I did see the warping when I went to look at it, but it seemed like a great deal still. I was paddling a Fluid Spice for years, but stopped when I took a spill mountain biking and herniated a disc in my neck. 6 months of PT later..

Made me rethink how I ride/paddle/board.

I'm not giving any of it up. Just dialing things down a bit

I wanted a yak that could do a bit of everything pretty well, not too specialized. And this seemed to fit. I'm planning to take it to the coast of Maine this summer but will definitely be getting it out in the water as soon as we get some nice weather here.
I just brought it home yesterday.

So any thoughts on how severe this warping may be and how it might affect tracking or speed would be greatly appreciated. Waiting for a day that's warm enough to leave it outside and will also try the hot water method.
But other than that, it's in great shape for it's age and I was told always garage stored. Doesn't appear to be much sun damage. All original parts.
And I already rolled the dice so she's mine. lol
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again.
