Over the past months I have bought and sold a number of boats and have a few personal boats for sale. I recently sold my 20lb Kayak Pro Jet. I had bought it in hopes of doing the 19 mile ROTC this year but a running injury prevented me from doing it. Next year if I do the 19 mile I can do it in the WSBS Thunderbolt X that I picked up from a local paddler who bought a Stellar SR. I will do the few flat water races in the X. It is the boat in the upper left of the picture. A few weeks ago I sold my Uno to a paddler on the West Coast. The yellow ski is my personal SES Excel. The orange tipped SES is my Advantage layup that I will use for winter paddling. I like to use the heavier layup during the winter months since it is more stable. The water temps are in the 30’s during the winter and yes I paddle my skis at least 2-3 times a week during the winter so long as the air temps are above 25 degrees. This ski has the newest draining bullet already attached that improves draining by 30-35%. The white ski is a demo SES Excel. On the right side is my 2010 SES Excel Slim seat that i have for sale. Below that is my SES Ultra SES slim seat that I am selling also. I am getting a 2011 Ultra SES with the wider seat so I am selling the slim seat SES’s. See Classified for details. Below the Ultra is an Evo that I picked up over the weekend. This is my 4th Evo. I took it out today on the Sakonnet where we had a 2ft waves with some 3 ft waves mixed in. I forgot how much fun this boat is!! My max speed on a wave was 9.14 mph. Not too shabby on the Sakonnet. What you don’t see are the demo SR, SE2, and SEL that I have on a rack behind the house. Iwill get an SE this week to add to the collection. An out of town paddler is using it for the Blackburn. Click for more pics. https://picasaweb.google.com/Surfski14/2011JulyGaragePicks
