The Storm Chaser has been sold as well.

Here are a few more pictures. Send me an email to the address listed in the first post above, and I can send you some higher res pics of the deck and hull so you can examine it more fully. The layup is primarily kevlar with an outer s-glass layer and gelcoat. The hull has a smallish spot under the s...

Although I can't suggest an immediate solution, I have heard rumor that River Elf has noticed the very same thing and has their first prototype C-1 paddle already built. Sounds like it may be a couple of months before they start getting them out the door though ... just a rumor

Unfortunately, I am selling this for my oldest brother and he is looking for a cash sale. Shoot me an email if you'd like to make an offer on it.

The Cascade has been sold.

Storm Chaser is one of the three original test boats from 2012. Size "L". Cosmetically, its quite faded and blemished, but structurally, it's still in decent shape and has no cracks or patches. $650 obo. Cascade is in nice shape, not a lot of hull wear and the outfitting is good. $250 obo Both are c...

Awesome review Rick. You should be doing these for canoe and kayak magazine or something - very entertaining and informative at the same time! I really appreciate you taking the time to compose and post that and happy to hear you're satisfied with the boat and that it has met your expectations. Oh b...

thanks for the update Adam - glad you could get it out before winter - Chris

Thanks road_warrior64. We don't have plans for an open boat at this time - we're mainly focusing on cboats in the short term. We do have a new "M", "M/S", and "S" version of the Storm Chaser in the works though - hopefully the mold will be ready by the end of the year. John, most folks are using a 6...

Hey Adam - thanks for the nice comments on the boat and we'll be looking forward to hearing your feedback after you get it on the water. I think you'll be pleased :) In response to the thread so far: We do use a kevlar bias tape for the outside seam for toughness and durability and you're right, its...

Boat has been sold - thanks!

Hi Brian,
Just ran across this tonight - sorry for being slow with the response. Yeah, I could probably work that out depending on the date. What weekend were you thinking? You can contact me at: chrissoileau(at)yahoo(dot)com
Thanks

Here's another pic of the boat with the grab loops and "dry" so you can see the faded deck. The other pics I had just washed it and it was still wet. Also, decided to reduce my price to $275 OBO.

Thats cool. Did you also modify the bottom of the hull? It looks flatter than the original zealot with a bit harder chines too. Looks almost like a nereus in that pic...Looks good!

It paddles really well and would be a great rec boat for someone. Off the water it feels heavy for a composite boat at 30 lbs - but on the water you won't notice the extra weight. Basically it was designed combining a slightly widened zealot stern with a narrower and shrunken bow of a trophy C-2 - w...
