Tom Donovan Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Sterling Grand Illusion for sale. Great surf and play boat.$3500. Built in 2018, minor scratches from use. One minor repair to gel coat completed. Stored indoors. Carbon composite (Kevlar) infused lay up – 44 lbs. I removed the carbon foot plate and pedals but will give them with the kayak. (I prefer a foamed bulkhead). Sterling kayaks live up to their name for quality, lightweight but strong build, surf-ability, and playfulness. From website, https://www.sterlingskayak.com/grand-illusion-specs--goals.html Grand IllusionFor an average size paddler-Grand Illusion delivers a high performance touring kayak that doubles as an Expedition kayak. For a larger paddler the Grand Illusion delivers a high performance kayak that fits and doubles as an Expedition Kayak. The Grand Illusion delivers the ability to have a touring kayak that doubles as an Expedition kayak. This kayak fits people between 150 on up to the mid-300 lb range. In addition to touring and expedition use the Grand Illusion has play boat characteristics and fabulous performance. The cockpit has easy entry and exit room, and there is plenty of room to accommodate large foot size. An actual performance kayak for camping, expeditions with an extra bonus of performing well for larger paddlers! Edited September 7, 2021 by Tom Donovan Update price.

Tom Donovan Posted August 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Bill, it is still for sale and is in my garage in Scarborough, ME. I'd be glad to show it to you. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kern Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 You mention a “carbon foot plate and pedals”. What is that? My friend has a Grand Illusion with adjustable foot braces glassed in on each side. (One broke off yesterday). I like your foam idea.

Bruce Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 I’m about 200 lb 5’9” do you think it would work for me? I live on Vancouver Island so it’s a big trip for me to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Donovan Posted April 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 I can't answer for certain. I am 6'3" and 220 and it still was a good fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Reason for selling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Sounds like it would fit me. I would go with the foam foot blocks as well. I’m in the midst of sorting out my passport (2 weeks in Canada to get one) once I have it I think I’ll make a trip there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Donovan Posted April 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Sounds good! It's a long way to go. Keep me posted. I do have some travel coming up so if you can give me a few weeks notice I can let you know if I will be here and if not - can arrange for someone else to have it for you.

Tom Donovan Posted April 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Just saw your other note. I bought a Volan MV last year which I'm quite happy with, so I am selling the Illusion to make room it in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Hi Tom Would you be able to look at shipping cost to get the kayak shipped to sterling In Belllingham? If it’s not unreasonable then we might still be able to make this work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
