WTB- Slalom C1

[overthehill]

I'd like to buy a good condition slalom c1- preferably a Fanatic or an F2. Maybe an Andy Bridge build? Race layup or slightly heavier and watertight. I've got an old Fanatic but it's getting brittle. I need to find a size medium skirt, too.
Also curious about some of the newer slalom designs. Never paddled one, though. Going from a stern-turning boat like the Fanatic, would a Vajda Lizard or a Galasport Makao be a logical move-up? I'm an old geezer and am 5'8" and 150lbs. Thanks to all- this is such a great site.

try Kabuki Blaze Acrobat. Incredible shape and cheap in WVA

Thanks Jim. Acrobats are fun, but I'm really just interested in a slalom boat.

How about a Pyrog? I am aware of a several slalom C1s for sale from a private seller. These where boats used by a Slalom Team that is looking to upgrade their fleet. They have asked my help in selling several boats. Most are in fair condition. All can be put on the water right away once you get your outifitting personalized. The prices will be $350-450.00.

There is also a C-2 available that is in real nice condition.

Thanks Tom. I really want to find a Fanatic or an F2.

UGH! You've put me into a quandry, Overthehill. I've got a Fanatic 2 that I bought off of Scott B. I like the boat a lot, but am not opposed to selling it. But, if I do that, then I just HAVE to have a Galasport Loco. Preferably one that is off-white and a red/white/blue racing stripe down the length of one side of the deck. If I can hear from this "Great" guy about whether that boat is for sale (because I am really "gonzo" for that boat), I'll be willing to sell the F2 to you. It's a Valley Mill boat fully outfitted, sans thigh straps, and the hull and deck are in really good condition (some scrapes on the outer surface). PM me your email and I'll send you pics.

Sorry KNeal, although the boat did not make the long treck out West with me at this point and is stored at a friends place in ontario, I am not ready to sell it.
I'll need a fun boat when visiting Ontario... !

TGG!

Hm. We may be able to work something out. I have a F2 that is in great shape (kevlar / training layup). No patches, just the normal scratches.

I would only sell it to get in to a newer boat - so, Tom, what are the years and specs of these Pyrogs of which you speak? I would also be really interested in ANY newer boat that is good for folks around 165 lbs.

I can usually rustle up boat transport from here (upstate NY) to the DC area.

HMPH!

Well then, my offer is OFF the table!



I really had a lot of fun paddling that Loco on the NB Potomac.

Sorry, Overthehill. Maybe "Sir" Adam has the deal for you. His F2 layup sound the same as mine.

Good luck,

KNeal
