That town is toxic.  Get the hell out.

True words. My mom grew up there,  but that was the 1920-1930's. Different times. So sorry to hear about all this! Wish I could afford an insert and rudder kit...  Best of luck, Jim.

Sorry about the circumstances, Jim. Sorry to think that you won't be building these great kayaks. I shall raise an extra glass of Jameson tonight in your honor. Or, is it 5 p.m. anywhere? Cheers, Buddy.

 Sorry for the late response,,,  was on the road all week  delivering the last of my inventory, train the new owner on how to rig, etc.   Really great family I got to meet out in Maryland.  They graciously invited me to stay at their farm, served up a great dinner.   I'm pretty happy with this, feel like I made a few new friends on the east coast.    Fact is, he and his brother had purchased 11 raptors over the past few years.    That's right,  ELEVEN !!!    I couldn't believe the size of his "pond" as he called it.   More like a lake !   Bass , Crappie,,,, jeeezzz wish I'd had more time.
    Still,,, was a little bit of remorse inside me about selling out.   On the other hand, once I get this remodel finished............    I'm going fishing !

    Now,,, in answer to your question.    Yes, there is a few kayaks left.  Not sure how long for. There's a guy who lives in Salinas... ( is this you ? )  plus a few others I've been in contact with over the past week. 
  I plan on being at the shop all day tomorrow  ( Thursday )  cleaning out ,  will be there most of the day.
 Got one G1,  One G2,, a Blem G2 (that's only good for paddling).
   Plus,,, One of the original Sit In Raptors ,, new like condition.
 Also have a LOT of really rugged  floatation air bags... can be inserted into your kayaks and inflated... ( in lieu of pool noodles.)   

  And ,,,, for the small sum of only 6,000 dollars, you can own the " Ladyslipper".. fully rigged with Torqeedo motor.

 

Congrats on (hopefully) a profitable exit.  most innovators never see their IP come to life, let alone make a nickel off of it.  you did both = source of pride for life.  Wish I could come down and check out the wares before you bail, but sched won't permit.  happy trails bro

        Thanks !!!     Really appreciate that.   Ya never know if you don't try, right.

     Will be there most of the day Saturday also... 

    Here's what I have left there.
  From the left,   Sit In,, $500 as shown.  Has a cockpit cover and three floatation bags.  Used only once at the PIF  where I raced  Ravensblack to the red bouy and crushed him by a mile..  He's never forgiven me for the beating he took that day.     

Lime green yaks is a new G2.  $900  as shown..  Paddle ready,, ( not rudder rigged )    Can be easily converted to pedal drive. 
Next to that a G1,,   $750 
   I only have one comfort seat and seat base left  price is $100 for the set..      More are available,, just not through me.    Or the Surf to Summit Sling style seats can work too.

 and,,, last but not least....  The first G1 to come out of the mold,, tested,,bloodied, drilled and spilled.  Prototype sail rigged.               Needs a "Real" set of sails fabricated for it,  " I'm a carpenter not a sail-maker " ( stating the obvious)    Has a proto-type retractable bow rudder installed.     Will cut a great deal to the right person who ,,  knows how to sail and  likes to tinker..   PM me.

Hey Jim , pm or text me the contact info for the new owner so our raffle winner can order up a rudder and mirage plug kit.
