Hard to say definitively, but I'm guessing Extrabat due to the length of the bow spike (I think) - it was shortened compared to the original Batmax and SuperBat. The bow id also fairly narrow. Could also be something in the Fanatic line

My first thought was Fanatic or F2 - The chine would be a dead giveaway, but can't see that From that angle, it is very hard to tell, but the bow seems narrow for a Bat (Super or Extra) They are a lot of fun - these days, I would clip the bow spike and shorten the stern a bit - especially if you get...

The resulting ABS is more rigid than the surrounding Royalex, so while it works, it has a tendency to crack. I covered the repair with a kevlar felt/epoxy grunch pad and it seemed ...

Last time I used foot pegs was the last time I was in a whitewater kayak... That was a long time ago

I have successfully repaired "nearly rotten" wood with a penetrating epoxy... One example is TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy It is a very thin epoxy tat will soak into the wood.For the most affected areas, a couple of coats might be necessary, then a flood coat before you re-glass.
