Description
For sale is this Tempest 170 touring kayak by Wilderness Systems
The Tempest is a great multi-purpose craft. I’ve used in all types of water, from rivers to the ocean and on short day trips to overnight camping trips. It’s great for all types of water and all types of paddlers, beginners to experienced. The kayak is used but in great condition and ready for many more fun days on the water. Good for medium to large paddlers, or for smaller paddlers who want a little extra room.
Some features:
- Three dry storage compartments with hatches
- Comfortable seat
- Skeg device for straight tracking in wind and conditions
- Overall dimensions: 17 feet long x 21.5 inches wide
- Cockpit dimensions: 34 inches long x 18.5 inches wide
From the manufacturer description: “Intentionally designed for all paddlers to enhance their sea kayaking skills, the award-winning Tempest offers unparalleled performance. The Tempest is designed to cover long distances with speed and true tracking, while also providing surprising initial stability thanks to its hull design.”
Condition note: The hull is in great shape. Note the close-up picture of the bow. There were some cracks developing at the toggle handle. They were professionally repaired and reinforced by a kayak repair specialist. The toggle is super-solid now.
Extras Available:
- I have some equipment I can add in for a small additional price to get you on the water, if needed, such as PFD (life jacket), spray skirt, etc.
- I can deliver locally for a small fee and confirmed purchase.
- In-water test paddle available.
- I can offer certified private lessons to help you master your kayak if you are interested (kayakant.com).
Happy paddling!
