This is a proper glass sea kayak in red and white with bulkheads , hatches , drop down skeg , adjustable footrests, valley padded seat and backrest . This model is not to be confused with the current polyethylene or RM model . It has a white gel coated keel strip . I cannot see anything wrong that a general tidy up will not sort . Some new shockcord and soap and water will do the trick . I am 14 stone 5ft 7and I am on the middle of the footrest track , so I can see 6ft not being a problem. 17ft sea kayaks are generally designed for longer paddles ,so tent , sleeping bag, food . So the volume takes that into account, but if you overload the kayak becomes sluggish as sitting too low in water . In essence the heavier you are the less baggage you can take. There is no courier that will take this kayak, though there is a special delivery guy who does kayaks only but I would need to get a quote. Collection from clacton is free and Essex Suffolk I can do by my car for £20

Ps skeg works smoothly
