Stunningly beautiful wooden exploration touring kayak by Chesapeake Light Craft, with fiberglass on bottom and sides. Length 17', Beam 24", Depth 13", weight 45 pounds. In kit kind the Chesapeake 17 costs $999.00. This one, in gorgeous like-new condition, has actually currently been assembled by a highly skilled artisan. Plus, for $975, you get a beautiful wooden paddle, spray skirt, chart case, bilge pump, Stohlquist PFD, Thule Hull-a-Port Kayak Carrier, storage racks for storing the kayak on your garage wall, and cockpit cover for use when kayak is being saved. The total value for all these items, if purchased brand-new, would be $1,528.59, but you would still have to build the kayak from a kit, and unless you are a very highly experienced craftsman it is unlikely you could develop a kayak as beautiful as this one. The Chesapeake 17 has a long waterline for outstanding speed, while the high-volume hull can hold expedition size loads in 2 water tight compartments. This boat stands out in both smooth and rough water, and her extremely cambered foredeck sheds water quickly. The boat is stable, her skeg-like stern assures train-like monitoring, and the cockpit is roomy and comfortable.
