Subject: FS: Prijon Touryak - Texas
For sale: Prijon Touryak kayak located in Austin Texas. This is a basically
new 2004 model kayak exactly as described on Prijon's web site -
http://www.wildnet.com/
It has been in the water less than 10 times and is in new condition. It is
red in color and is equipped with Prijon's balanced wing rudder (description
can be seen on Prijon's web site). The foot braces / rudder controls are
gas peddle type so that a solid foot brace is topped by a peddle to move the
rudder. The Touryak length is 15'4",it has a 25.5" beam and a weight of 58
lbs. Asking $1250.
The boat can be seen and discussed with Austin Outdoor Gear and Guidance at
877-773-2644 or (512) 473-2644. FYI - this is not a posting for a
commercial establishment. I am still the owner and Austin Outdoor is
selling the kayak for me on consignment because I just bought a new kayak
from them.

Uhhh $1250? How much was this boat new? I'd expect this kayak to sell
for a maximum of $1200 retail.

Fair question - and you could have looked up the price for yourself at
Prijon's Wildnet web site that was provided above. The kayak sells for
$1549 with the rudder and it is a 2004 boat in new condition. I assume that
you were just posting to comment on the price, but if you are actually
interested call one of the provided numbers and make a reasonable offer!
Considering that the Touryak is in new condition, has an asking price that
is $300 below retail and, as a 'used' kayak would have no sales tax added on
I think will make someone a good deal!

If that is the case it's way overpriced.

I friend of mine is a Prijon dealer. He's selling a new Prijon Tourak for
$1349. It doesn't have a rudder (but that would only add about $100) to the
price but he's throwing in a Werner paddle and Snapdragon sprayskirt at no
extra charge. That's about $250 in accessories.

Does $1250 for a used Tourak still sound like a good deal.

Your dealer friend could have been more helpful if he had looked up Prijon's
prices and informed you completely and correctly. Yes the new Touryak sells
for $1349 w/o rudder; the Prijon balanced wing rudder, according to their
current web site pricing, sells for an additional $199 (I paid $200 - I
guess that they have lowered their price by one dollar!). That makes $1548
instead of the $1549 as stated above. Some dealers add in something extra,
above that, to install the rudder. Can rudders be had for $100, absolutely.
But, that would not be Prijon's balanced wing rudder and hardware. If you
want to make an argument that the boat and rudder are not worth $1548 retail
that's fine - all I am saying is that is what the retail cost is and you
seem to keep disputing it when the information is available on their web
site for anyone to look up!
Is $1250 for a used Touryak with rudder a good deal? Absolutely, when it is
a 2004 kayak in like new condition. And, to match your dealer friend, if
someone pays that price I would throw in a $129.95 Wild Wasser sprayskirt
that is also in new condition (no paddle though)! If I agree to a lower
negotiated price the sprayskirt may come out of the deal!

One thing that I neglected to do relative to the Prijon Touryak described
below was to provide a web site reference with pictures. Two photos can be
seen at: http://www.kayaktexas.com/consignment.htm
