The pa 12 i posted at the start of the thread was gumtree. That one seems a bit over priced to me now.. not much else i can find that interests me on there at the moment.

Is this ebay special dangerously bad? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Jetocean-Fis ... SwKOJYJXau

The length and overall hull design looks better than the average cheapie. The seat doubling as the trolley frame is novel. However I would be wanting to do an on water paddle test as the centre of gravity looks high with that seat arrangement and could prove tippy.
