Necky Spike - PM for NCKA Pricing

Greetings NCKA'ers,

Both of these are made in Canada = better build quality that later productions that were manufactured in the USA.
This is the kayak that started the madness for me.  The Spike is the baseline for which I measure my other SOT kayaks.
I have 3 Necky Spikes and it is time to let another paddler enjoy the beauty and performance of this kayak.
Demos are welcomed.  Provided if you fuel me by buying lunch or fuel my truck for $5.   

Up for sale are the following kayaks:

Yellow Necky Spike w/ Rudder

Yellow Necky Spike w/o Rudder

12'4" x 28” x 49 lb


The kayaks are stored indoors when possible.   My kayaks are treated with 303 Aerospace Protectant.  Washed thoroughly after each use.

Below is an excerpt from the FLFC article above.

[Now for shorter yaks (12 to 14 feet):

#1 The Necky Spike (12'4" x 28 x 50 lb)

I won't kid you. Your first ride in a Necky will blow your mind. Tippy and seemingly sensitive. But the Spike is the only true sea kayak among SOT's. Modified Vee hull, with long bow rake (overhang), great flare, slightly skeglike stern. Low profile. Good quality sliding footrests AND heel rests. Smaller tankwell that still accommodates a modified cooler with launchers.

The Spike has only moderate (or less) primary stability, but fantastic secondary. It's one SOT for which you might actually buy kneestraps, so you can literally carve turns in the surf. Yes, this yak will surf and is built to handle any and all seas. I can do a standing 180 with just a little more than one modest sweep. While other yaks are struggling through 3 or 4 agonizingly hard sweeps, the Spike is around and flying toward the bait bust. I'm not kiddin.

It is deceptively fast, and whisper quiet. You can accelerate to top speed in just a few strokes. Yes, it's top speed is somewhat less than a Pro or Prowler, but it will beat the sponsons off any other yak in it's class. A warning: this may not be the yak for the new fisher, but it just might be. Reviews all indicate that, like riding a bike, you will quickly accomodate and find your balance point and then the Spike will feel both stable and very, very "right".

It's a true thoroughbred, but please don't be intimidated. Those who buy this special yak rarely part with them. And know that the Spike is on Dennis Spike's short list too.]

PM if you're interested or just have questions.

P.S. The sale of the boat does not include my sister-in-law.

You must have known Mooch was gonna ask about her!
....I'll spread more word on your yak sales.

  Ha Ha ....so true!  Sorry Joel.

Greetings!

Thanks for spreading the word.  I've been fielding the Craigslist "buyers" and it's been pretty interesting.  There was one guy that came over to my place to "molest" my kayaks and gear(kayak, get your mind out of the gutter) for over an hour.

HATE THE LOOKIE LOOS!!!  There was a couple that came over to take a look at two unused boats I was selling at a major discount off the MSRP.  Called me like 5 times saying they wanted to buy em.  Came over and pestered me for 1 hr+.  Sat in the boats, rubbed the hulls, even racked one on their Subaru to see how much effort that would take...didn't end up buying.

"Thanks for showing."  then took off, leaving me to break down everything!!!   I sold the boats not 2 hours later, but still...

I try to confirm with people before meeting that they will have cash in the amount of the advertised price. 

Greetings,

I will be bringing the Spikes to Redwood City to demo for a Craigslist buyer.  If you are interested please PM me for more information.
