In the past few years, my AI has started to take on water during trips.  At first it was a cup, then a few cups, then a few gallons.  This weekend I took on 5-10 gallons during the day, and finally found the cause after pumping smoke into the hull to expose all the leaks....a 3" drivewell crack...RIP AI...so....

Looking for an AI to replace this one......If one of my NCKA bros has one they are thinking about selling or know some one that is, let me know.  Would also consider an Adventure to convert, or a Revo 13 so I can convert to a revo island.

I had a deal with Josh to buy his AI and tried to pick it up a coupe times but he's so busy after his marriage so we haven't close the deal yet  :smt003.  If it works out you can have his Adventure kayak, I just need the AMA hardware to convert my Adventure that I bought from ScubaLuis years ago.  Let me contact Josh this week to see if he's available.

I tried to leave him a message but his VM is full and won't take any more messages!  Will keep trying and also PM him.

I found-out his handle is "Dub the Boat" and sent him a PM.  Will let you know when he contact me.

If that doesn't work out and you end up buying a complete AI, I'd be interested in your damaged AI. I have a 2013 Adventure hull and would like to turn it into a complete AI.

Come to think of it, it would probably make a lot more sense to try to sell my Adventure to you, since it rarely gets used (about 1x per year), and since I already have an AI. But I just can't bear the thought of parting with it...

I have the intention of using the hardware to do a Revo island project (at least that's what I'm telling myself now).  If I can't find an island, and you eventually decide to sell your adventure, lmk.

Still looking.  I have expanded my search to any 2011-2014ish AI, Adventure, or Revo13.
