repair vs. build new
Posted by: ret603 on Sep-23-12 12:17 PM (EST)

I agree with LeeG it will be as lengthy to restore this kayak to structure and aesthetic appeal.

If you have the $ for a kit, a new kayak will look better and be stronger. By buying a new kayak kit, you can choose the model that best fits your size and intended use. This is a large kayak, best suited to lengthy trips.
