I am selling 2 sea kayaks, great for a couple, that allow foot powered rudder control and glide beautifully through ocean and rivers, with great responsiveness and maneuverability to allow a beginner to enjoy but also expert-level navigation on ocean-size waves.
Made from Fiberglass, the Necky Looksha IVS AND Necky Looksha IV are in very good condition. They probably have only been used about two dozen times (they sat unused for years). The IV is slightly longer, at 17 feet in length, while the IVS is about 16 feet long (both widths are around 22.5). You can look up specs online.
Both have watertight covers to allow storage for expeditions, or just a picnic to an island.
I am only selling to someone who can do pickup.
I will sell both for $825, or if separately, the larger one for $500 and smaller one for $400 (see details on size below).
For more details, here are the specs from REI on the IV, and again, the IVS is essentially the same but a foot shorter with a (I think) slightly smaller cockpit since it is made for a regular to smaller adult, while IV can serve for a taller adult, such as a guy over 6 feet.
Features
• Lower volume hull provides better performance for small to mid-size paddlers, the Looksha displays superb carving and edging ability
• Multi-chine Diamond Hull design and extra rocker allow this kayak to move easily in rougher conditions
• Advanced Composite design features dense, aircraft-grade fabrics allowing reduced resin content for added strength, impact resistance and smooth lines
• Composite construction represents a highly evolved synergy of performance, efficiency and aesthetics for an elegant, responsive watercraft
• Cockpit has a snug and precise fit for aggressive edging and rolls without being uncomfortable for casual touring
• Cockpit-deployable tracking rudder assists with steering via footpeg control; rubber rudder catcher and bungee secure rudder during transport
• Ratchet-adjustable, padded backband with forward-mounted seat adjustments; soft foam seat and adjustable thigh braces deliver a custom fit
• Fully bulkheaded bow and stern hatches with watertight hatch covers provide generous dry cargo storage for extended tours
• Bungee deck rigging secures extra gear for easy access; compass mounting surface ahead of bow deck rigging
Made in USA.
