This is my Kaskazi Dorado 2, for sale only as a combination of a house move away from the sea, and work and family commitments mean I can't get out as much as I'd like. I bought this last year from a chap in Wales. It was a warranty replacement so barely used. This model has the carbon fibre central console cover and forward carbon fibre deck which, coupled with the green hull and white deck, looks superb. The Dorado 2 is a fabulous kayak either for fishing, or for paddling.
The capacious centre console can take two six foot rods with reels as well as loads of space for tackle. The two hatches behind the paddle also contain plenty of storage space for spare clothing, camping stove or similar. The Dorado is low in the water, meaning that it has excellent secondary stability. A beginner can master it in seconds and you'll feel far more stable in the water than in most sit on kayaks. And it's sleek and quick too.
The kayak is in very good condition overall. It has KeelEazy along the keel as well as a few extra strips on the side, and as a result has very, very few marks on the hull. The deck is similarly in good condition. Things to note: 1. The fish finder shown belonged to the chap I bought the kayak from and is NOT included.
A basic GPS equipped Lowrance Hook2-4 is now fitted, complete with battery in the rear compartment2. Since these hulls are not the best for internal transducer mounting, the transducer is now fitted behind the cockpit on a RAM mounting (and thus can be pulled out of the water when not required). Cabling is routed through a scan strut cable gland on the rear deck3. There is no crate included (managed to misplace it at a motorway service station) but there are various options to replace it available4. A foam Ocean Kayak seat, which fits the cockpit perfectly, is included If you buy the kayak, I will also offer you the opportunity to buy the following, so if you are interested in making an offer for the whole outfit please message me. 1.
