project slalom boats

Post by KNeal »

I have a Zealot and a Maverick that need a good home with a caring, and attentive, cboater that wants a project boat (or two).

Zealot has leaky seams but the hull is sound (from an impromptu surf 'n swim in Big Nasty at 5.0 feet). Saddle included. Anchors for thigh straps. *Free*

Maverick is "THE" fastest slalom boat down a course, up a course, and slowest on pivots. I've used this one to win the attainment race at Potomac Fest (some many years ago) and the Cheat downriver race. Definitely in need of repairs/refurbishing. Or the boat can be modified to become a shorter boater or squirty boat. *Free*

Contact me if you want the boats

The Maverick is the only slalom boat other than my Zealot that I've ever paddled. Mine is the #1 original high rocker Zealot, so it excels where the Maverick fails. But I could feel the hull speed of the Maverick as soon as I tried it.

Check!

Just patched mine up and had another go on flat water and that all seems to tally with my experience, although I have virtually no technique, it does seem pretty reluctant to pivot!

The Maverick (even the plus sized model) will pivot, but... it helps to have some weight and commitment :-)

I know where there might be a Zealot mold...
