K1
Nelo Viper 42 L (75-85kgs)
SCS Build
10/2021 Build.
Purchased from Pro Kayaks in Narrabeen about 6 months ago.
I love this boat, but it is the wrong size for me (I’m 184cms/93kgs +/-)
Comes with:
Genuine Nelo Pedal steering (fitted)
Original tiller plate
Marathon rudder (fitted)
Stock rudder
Zip up travel cover
Tango Charlie suction cup watch holder in almost the same yellow.
It’s got a couple of really small, really minor cosmetic marks on the underside of the hull that would go unnoticed by almost everyone (except me!) so it presents as “Near new”.
Stability is subjective, but I find it uncannily stable. My being too heavy for it might have something to do with that, but for reference I paddle a Think Uno Max in the NSW marathon series. While I can’t remember the last time I fell out of the Max, it feels tippier (to me) than this Viper K1
Again, stability is an individual enterprise so allow for the theoretical breeze on that.
Excellent upper intermediate boat, or one for someone that is a 75-85kg ski paddler who is looking to test the waters in K1 in a fast (comparatively) paddleable boat that isn’t going to murder them if a tinny putts by.
Would consider a trade arrangement for an Infusion 2/X XL/XXL of similar year/condition.
Located in Armidale NSW - but for $100 fuel money I’m happy to drive 3 hours in any direction to meet up.
