New Swell Scupper

I have a brand new Swell Watercraft Scupper for sell. It’s a new brand developed in part by Tim Niemier, the guy who designed the original Scupper Pro. I originally bought this kayak at a discount when they were trying to get the company going on Kickstarter several years ago. Basically I bought it sight unseen for $1500. I have the adventure package in white with a rudder.   https://swellwatercraft.com/buy/

The concept behind this kayak is lowering the footwells below the waterline to create a more narrow boat with more stability. Due to tha below the waterline design they added one way scupper valves that drain water when you paddle.  At this time I have the first generation valves. Swell is sending me the second generation when they are finished at the end of this month which are supposed to be 3 times as efficient.

Long story short, I don’t like it. The kayak always has some amount water in the footwell. Being a diver I didn’t think I’d mind that, but after paddling it, I don’t like it. I could wait for the new scupper valves, but I have 6 kayaks and they are just stacking up.

If someone from NCKA wants it, I’ll sell it for $1000

Looks like a nice kayak, and some good reviews here

Should be a great deal for somebody (unfortunately, not me, as I don't have space for another one).
