Difference of opinion
There are those who believe that Royalex has a finite life time and becomes increasingly brittle and prone to crack and break after 20 years or so.
I have not observed this tendency myself, and I have quite a few older Royalex boats, but there are quite a few experienced paddlers who believe this to be true.

I know as fact that this boat has been on the shop floor for at least 2.5 yrs. Have wanted it since I first saw it but the funds were short at the time.

If you are a beginner and without a boat, what’s more important than finding the “killer deal” is getting on the water and getting the learning going.
After you’ve got a boat, then you can be pickier about price for your next one. But the most important thing is getting out there and accumulating seat time.

Go, Get out of Denver, baby, go
Get out of Denver, cause you look just like a commie and you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver, baby, go
You don't want to be driving through Denver, looking like some paddling gypsy; carrying a canoe that doesn't have your name on it, but does have someone else's.
Might have to spend a night or two there...........
