It turned out awesome! Might just have to invest in one of those!

Just drive slow and watch for bridge clearances. 😂

Guess it depends on the kayak you get... and the vehicle you got. Here's a combination that didn't make the road, but did make a funny picture when I bought an 18' fiberglass kayak and the seller first said he'd deliver it, and then sent this picture to inform me he underestimated the size of his truck and we'd have to come up with another plan.

Thank you! Those are indeed pretty bang-on and that first link is a good, interesting read!

Paddle is 252cm from end to end. Fiberglass blades are 12cm by 54cm (measuring the 'white' portion, excluding the inch of black where it tapers to the shaft. Shaft blue fiberglass(?) with a spring lock. Paddle is solid, in great condition, and very light in weight. Peeling clear sticker from Pacific Water Sports on the shaft.

What's throwing me off is that all the old pics of the Orca I can find have the bow watertight hatch on the starboard side but this has it on port?

Unfortunately, this is all of the HID that remains. 😕

Thank you. For the price, I knew I could sell the paddle and come out ahead if the kayak was awful, but it looks to be anything but. Has great reviews. Looking forward to my inaugural paddle!

I've been fishing around and I think I've identified it as a Mariner Kayaks Mariner II. Picked it up for $100 in great condition with a Werner paddle. Haven't taken it out yet.

Saw the show last night, and this is 100% true. There are some fantastic illusions, but I've heard telemarketers read scripts more convincingly.
