Stable, and large this is an easy beginners boat to take on overnight trips. It been well used and there are a few patches. But the boat as no leaks and the frame is fully functional. Comes with stuff bags, spray deck, rudder and foresail. $500. Text me at 604-339-5025

I own a Delta 17. The biggest factor for me was the weight. I wanted something I can lift on my own.I can’t afford kevlar so…..

It isn’t super fast, and doesn’t turn easily or quickly. It is very stable and I actually have a hard time edging in it, which could just mean I need more practice.  One thing I read in reviews, and agree with is: it feels wobbly and unstable in following seas.

Lots of space but I was actually surprised how quickly I filled it for a 4 day solo trip I did. (I did bring too much food and wine, and drinking water.)

The cockpit is huge and I definitely have too much room at the sides. I bought the hip pads but haven’t installed them yet. Western did warn me that they thought the cockpit was too big for me but I like the extra space so I can move my legs and hips around.  The day hatch takes up a remarkable amount of space in the cockpit for the size it is. It is very handy though.

I had an issue with my day hatch being leaky, that they fixed.

If you would ever like to give it a try for an hour, a couple of hours or a day, I can meet you at Jericho.

I bought a Delta 17′ in late August, 2018. I can’t say enough great things about it! Incredible storage space, comfortable, light weight and it handles big water exceptionally well – very very stable! I am very proud of my new Delta and I highly recommend you purchase one.

I had a Delta 17 Sport with a rudder for about 4 years. All in all, it is a good kayak for beginners to intermediate paddlers who are not quite pushing the limits in kayaking.

Pros: good price, light, lots of room, surfs well, rolls well, local manufacturer

Cons: loose fit inside – had to add foam pads for a snug fit, hatches were not perfectly dry (this may have been fixed in latest model), mushy foot pegs (at least the model with rudder), seat uncomfortable after about 2 hours of paddling

During paddle fest, I tried a British boat at Jericho and I immediately noticed how much better it handled the waves than the Delta and shortly thereafter I bought a Valley boat.

Having said that, for paddling in normal conditions, the Delta 17 is a perfectly good choice and I would recommend the Sport model. Good luck!

If anyone has experience with this kayak, please comment regarding pros and cons, how it would work for 7 days worth of camping, comfort, and performance.

I’m selling selling a Czech made Gumotex Seawave (Inflatable) High Pressure Kayak including many accessories.

Light use from September 2016 until February 2017, when I decided to switch to a hard hull kayak, now collecting dust in the garage.

Kayak can sit up to 3 people in open configuration (2 adults + 1 child), single or tandem with the use of the spraydecks (or not)

The Seawave is being sold in North America under the INNOVA brand, which makes it easy to get parts.

https://www.innovakayak.com/

If you were to buy the Innova Kayak for the same configuration and accessories

you would be paying:

Kayak (with transportation backpack) : USD 999.—

SEAWAVE deck for 1 person (with reinforcement): USD 319.–

SEAWAVE deck for 2 persons – without reinforcements: USD 169.—

2 Skirts: 2 x USD 54.— = USD 108.—

SEAWAVE rudder: = USD 249.–

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Total: USD 1844.– = converted  CAD 2450.– before tax

I would be adding to above package following items (worth at least CAD 475 before tax)

Bravo 4-ALU R.E.D. Dual Action Hand Pump / Air Pump

K-Pump Mini 100S  (to carry on board of the kayak as back-up)

Scotty Pump 21″ with Float

NRS Foam Paddle Float

Gumotex – Removal Wrench / Hobby Tool to Install and remove Push Push Valves

Gumotex – Push Push Valve for Inflatables

1 x Werner Skagit FG 2 Straight Shaft Paddle

North Water  Throw Line

Note: It seems that there is some sand particles stuck in pressure release valve in the  floor, causing a slow leak. Problem can be remedied by either removing and cleaning the valve or have it replaced (cost around $15). However I’m not a handy man, so I would leave it to the buyer to deal with it.

I’m selling all above package  for CAD 1,700.—

Kayak is currently located in Steveston area.

Happy Paddle! Niko

Peter,

Nice kayak. You might not want to have the manager’s link posted here.  Could lead to troubles.

The Mill Creek is a stitch and tape kayak made from a high-quality marine plywood kit from Chesapeake Light Craft in the USA.
16.6 ft long, this kayak stores easily in the average garage. A weight of only 62 lbs makes the Mill Creek™ very car top-able.
A flat bottom give the kayak a shallow draft and an initial stability so high that even beginners feel safe getting in and out of the boat.
Despite the 33 ins width of the boat, it moves easily with little paddle effort. is very well suited for children. A rudder lets the rear paddler steer.
There is plenty of room for light gear.
The price is $1,000.
Covered storage is available for this boat at English Bay. The cost is $310 per year.
