Is this boat still for sale? Please send more pictures please. I'm in Athens myself so I can swing by after work sometime. Thanks

I'm in Athens, Ga. I bought this brand new and then barely used it because most of my paddling these days is tandem with my wife. I can give as many pictures as needed. Airbags and factory outfitting are included.

I really like my Zephyr, but also paddle it like a glass boat. It sees as much time on black water as white - it's very well suited for twisty, swampy streams and is easier to navigate the ups, overs, and arounds than the the kayaks ...

This might work for fiberglass repair. 3M 21210 Super 77 Spray Adhesive

I had a series of vertical cracks on the chines -- a few on each side. I made appropriate size fibreglass patches and applied them to the inside of the hull with the ScotchWeld and then wetted them out with the Scotchweld. I then just applied some more ScotchWeld to any visible cracks on the exterio...

Chuck, Well, I paddled mine like it was Rx and put a couple of holes in it doing a 3 foot drop and finding a rock that I never knew was there. The factory repair was a pain. I've since found that ScotchWeld DP8010 is an effective adhesive for Twintex and now have 5 or 6 more patches along the chine...

Yes, the holes on my Zephyr with factory installed wood gunnels are through the hull just below the gunnel. I never did find a bag that fit this boat very well -- some too big, others too small. We bought Nick Parker's Zephyr and use ...

Scott, I never got around to putting wood on my Zephyr before I sold it, but I do still have these photos which may help you. I saved these from an online article RapidMedia did about the Zephyr. They must have removed the article from their server, ...

I've tentatively got putting wood gunwales on my Zephyr on the list of projects - it might be a while, but, i'd like to do it. Those of you that have wood gunwales on Zephyrs, how do you have the bag lacing run? through holes in the hull like with ...

... know which version of the Ocoee Andy used to make his mold. Even at this "narrow" width, the boat is extremely stable. At least as stable as the Zephyr it is replacing and much faster and lighter.

Ok -- update:

I've got a nice, clean Zephyr for sale. With Gaulyfest next weekend, I figured I'd throw that out there in case anyone headed to this part of the world is interested in one. PM me and we can talk.

... Weighs about 25# without the airbags. This is the lightest, fastest boat I have ever paddled. I found it very stable (my previous boat was a Zephyr so I like stable boats.) You might want to get in touch with Andy if the Ocoee hull is of interest.

Krylon Fusion is also a good spray paint for plastics. I have sealed glass boats by spraying with Fusion Primer, followed by Fusion Paint, to get a thicker coat and further seal the fibers... Won't add much weight, saves your skin from itchies...
