Klepper Aerius II 545 Quattro with rear Loading Hatch, Red - Ref 097AN

Serial No. - 055364. Purchased as new in the UK and has minimal usage since purchase.

Quattro (2 pairs of sponsons) versions are made with lighter TPU hulls, unlike the Classic versions which are made with heavier and tougher CSM / Hypalon - a weight saving of approx 2kg. The AEII 545 cockpit is 10 inches longer than the well known AEII 520 that's been around for years, so more leg room for the rear paddler.

This Quattro has a handy rear loading hatch. The Quattro version, like the EXP version usually have paddle pockets on the stern deck, instead there are straps to secure paddle blades as well as the usual toggles to hold the paddle shafts. One single wide central keelstrip.

The kayak frame is in very good condition overall. Due to an accident with some off-shore rocks, the TPU hull was damaged - minor tears have since been professionally and well repaired by a 3rd party company so there are some patches. There are numerous tiny scratch marks that needs 'painting' over with black adhesive to cover the exposed canvas.

After the above episode, it appears that the kayak skin had not been dried out properly - as a result the skin had shrunk a fair bit. Attempts to assemble the kayak by the owner broke some frame parts. One bow gunwale ladder frame has cracked in half completely and it's hinges broken - to be repaired or replaced. The kayak skin has now been stretched by ourselves and is now back to usable state.

Complete with a foot rest for the front paddler, rudder pedals, comfort rudder, spray deck and 3 pack bags. The spray deck has integrated waist skirts.
