Wow

Your probably not going to be fishing off this thing, but nice craftsmanship anyway.  Too bad the collective WAF for NCKA's membership doesn't amount to that sticker price.

It's the million dollar yak.....give or take 50 grand.

I would just take that to Mexico and trash it anyway. So forget it.

Gorgeous.

I think the seller may have inadvertently added a zero or two to the price, but I guess there is always a market for the most expensive & the least expensive.

I think the dead seal effigy might turn a few folks off though.

Geez... Joseph, can you build me one of these, so I can sell it?

Ha! Funny to see you posted this because I saw the CL listing and almost posted it here, too!
Although, looking at the pics -- I still don't see the "hand painted shaman's mask" nor do I know what that has to do with the kayak. Maybe an artificial mojo-enhancer?

Took a second look.  Think it comes in an angler model? 

The shaman mask is painted on the deck in front of the cockpit. This guy gets style points for the seal carcass, I'd love to hunt one off my yak.

That kayak is gorgeous. How sick would that look in your office????(the kind of office you would have if you could afford something like that)

looks like a SWEET paper-weight to me...butWHATdoIknow?

This belongs in the 5 million dollar "what if" thread.
amazing
