5m Venture Jura MV Performance Sea Kayak
4.5m Dagger Stratos ditto
Both in excellent nick..... whaddyareckon, roughly?? They seem to be about £1k / £750 new, although there's slightly different models of each and I'm waiting on the detail.
Many thanx.

Re: Valuing Sea/Touring boats
Hi,
I'm usually prepared to pay around 2/3rds new price for a boat thats in excellent shape (no deep scratches or oil canning, everything working, clean and well stored) and about 1/2 new price for something that fully workable but with a bit more wear and tear. A bit less if its older, discontinued models. Necessary repairs (hatches, decklines, skegs, seats etc.) would be deducted from above price.
The boats in question are reasonably popular but a bit on the budget side as far as Plastic seakayaks go. Would be good for a newcomer to the sport or in case of the Stratos would also make a fun play boat for a more experienced paddler.
