tandem (Old Town Dimension "Vie II")

Hello everyone
I have a tandem Old Town Dimension "Vie II" and I am trying to locate a spray skirt for it. Anyone have one for this model? or know of where I could get one. It is an older kayak and I don't believe they make the model anymore. I seem to recall someone told me Necky took over the build. I looked on their site and don't see a model similar. It has only one large oval shaped hole in the cockpit.

I can get one in Kelowna for about $120.00 it is supposed to fit it. They would have to order it. I don't know but it sounds a bit steep as $ goes. I could be wrong though.

They would probably need you to make a cockpit tracing and they would buiild it to that. The squirt skirt is absolutely dry and really well made, I was quite inpressed and I willl be buying more skirts from them. Greg PS I the price I paid is what the kayak that sold me the boat charged for the skirt as he is a dealer for them.; ▶ Reply to This

For 120.00 bucks the skirt in Kelona must just be a nylon skirt with no neoprene. probably all you really need for you type of paddling. The squirt skirt needs to be striong and fit very tight to keep the water out or I would sink pretty fast. Good skirts are worth the weight in gold when the crap the fan and your miles off shore.
