Uncommon News Spring 2008

• Wilderness Systems Tempest 170: $1600 the current retail for a 170. 17’ x 22.5” wide. This one is red and is really good condition and would sell for $950.
• Hurricane Tracer 165 for sale (thermo-formed boat)....light and slippery. 16.5’ long x 22.5” wide. $1500 retail. This is a pretty sporty kayak that performs very well: is a bit tender at first, but has great secondary stability that you grow into it quickly. It has a skeg and two dry hatches. Its barely used at $1000...new last year.
• Point 65 Crunch Rocket....a plastic high performance 16 ft x 21.5” wide Swedish boat…great performance boat on a budget. Has a rudder, but doesn't need it.....stiff, three hatches, fast as all get out...good trainer....$900.

• Mountain Hardware Alcove 3: Nice roomy 3 person tents that are great for 2 plus gear with doors and double vestibules. They’re gently used and hey, they’re Mountain Hardware…hard to go wrong at $175 each. Review at: http://www.trailspace.com/gear/mountain-hardwear/alcove-3/

A sea kayak along the crinkly edges of the biggest island in the biggest lake on the planet? Can’t go wrong with three choices: one for intermediate paddlers, one that’s fishingcentric and a fall North shore trip for those who are up for lumpy water. www.uncommonadv.com/kayaking/great-lakes/isle-royale.html
