Mariner XL "Excel' Sea Kayak -with new gelcoat, bulkheads and hatches
Mariner XL 'Excel' kayak
17'1" x 23.5"
The XL is the 'older brother' to the Mariner Max and shares its main characteristics - great handling in rough and windy conditions without the need for a skeg or rudder, and the ability to carry a load of gear for trips while still being a good (and quick) day-paddling boat. Don't be misled - the 'XL' doesn't mean Extra Large, though this is a great boat for the longer legged or bigger paddler.
I've added glass bulkheads and hatch recesses and new SeaLect Performance oval hatch covers, and repainted the red deck with tough 2-part LPU paint.
The Roberts Grey gelcoat on the hull was sanded and new gelcoat in the same colour was professionally applied by Blackline Marine.
This is a well-outfitted boat, in 'better than new' condition.
Front and rear compartments with oval hatches for easy loading.
Mariner sliding seat
All new deck rigging with perimeter deck safety lines and shock cord, and new end toggles.
