On year 25 now. Seams and rubstrake are cracking and look horrible,
but it still holds air. It paddles around OK in flat water for short
trips; wood floorboards really help. Motor mount (old style metal
frame with wood plate) is half rusted away, but a 2.5hp kicker pushes
it around acceptably in light seas. I think it's a classic, one of
the few items the Brits do right. If it holds air overnight and the
dude isn't asking an arm and a leg for it, buy it.

Best thing about it is it packs small and assembles easily. Got a 12'
hardtail with an 18hp kicker for major ferrying, but man, it's heavy,
and a pain to assemble, especially mounting the motor when anchored.
And the motor eats a lot of gasoline.
