I know the history of this lime green MacSki Kingfisher kayak:
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/boa/614913050.html

It suffered major damage in shipping by ABF Freight and was sold as is.  It's possible that the seller made adequate repairs, but I doubt it.  Look carefully before buying this kayak.  I feel compelled to post this warning because the seller is down playing the damage, won't provide pictures of the "several dings repaired", and is making unsubstantiated claims such as.....

"the Kingfisher is overbuilt but it is truly bulletproof. This is a yak that will take abuse."

That's obviously BS!!!

Buyer Beware!

A good chunk of the post is just copy-pasted from the Macski website.

Not saying anything about the posting or the quality, just a sourcing clarification. :)

this is the same boat that I looked at buying a month ago I think he wanted $825, kinda flaky, so I passed on it and found a good used T106i fror $700, glad I passed on it.

Overall the Macski Kingfisher is a good boat but made for surf more than our uses. It does have good storage and is about 60lbs.


glad to see someone was looking out for us.
