Vintage Klepper Aerius Folding Kayak
IN-PERSON PICKUP ONLY - NEWBURGH, NY 12550
Klepper Aerius folding kayak. Approximately 15 feet long when assembled, I'm not exactly sure because I didn't measure it before I folded it up. I got this kayak on 7/5/2021 from the former owner, who got it from his aunt and uncle in the 1970s. It was fully assembled when I got it, as shown in the "before folding" photos. According to the former owner, it had been fully assembled since he got it; he never disassembled it. He and his kids used it years ago on a lake in upstate New York, and since then it's been in dry (and dusty) storage in his garage. I had to disassemble it to fit it into my car to bring it home; I didn't notice any obviously missing structural components. The skin appears to be originally blue, but is quite faded, and shows what I'd consider to be understandable wear from years of use and some cracking to the rubber from decades of storage. I didn't put the kayak in water (just took it apart and loaded it into my car) so I don't know if it still floats. The storage bag for the large wooden ribs is missing, so I put them in a duffel bag as shown. I really don't want to try to re-assemble this kayak, because it seems like pretty complicated task, so I'm offering it as you see it here, as-is, untested, disassembled and folded up.
