By the time I put mine together, it would probably look like a swan!
Indeedy, and my rotomoulded yak weighs only 21kg, so its very easy to manhandle onto the car roof or into storage at home.The great thing about the blow-molded plastic kayaks was they were inexpensive, (8' for $300 when I bought them) and indestructible. When we would paddle out in the Winter, we would power-paddle them right up onto a concrete boat ramp and not hurt them. We didn't even have to get our feet wet. Same for launching...put it low on the ramp by the water and “scootch it” down until you were floating. Off you go. The bottoms didn't hold their shape as well as fiberglass ones, but they were certainly fun little toy boats. Scootching not recommended for nicer kayaks! Also fun for grandkids to splash around in when filled with water on land. Multipurpose vehicle!
Remarkably, we're even lighter than that - and can carry 4, their luggage, and a couple of bullocks.Indeedy, and my rotomoulded yak weighs only 21kg, so its very easy to manhandle onto the car roof or into storage at home.
If you manage to damage or deform one - which takes some doing - they'll usually ping back into shape on their own if left in the warm sun.
And youre very polite John - youre one of the forum's few true gentleman, and would never be a pain.
