Jeff Frigon Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Halcyon is a 2004 Valley Argonaut. The Argonaut mold was modified to become the now discontinued Aquanaut HV. This is a great expedition boat for larger paddlers. I am the original owner and used this boat for a 3 month expedition in Alaska in 2006. Since then it has seen maybe 20 days and has been stored inside and unused since 2007. I am 6’ 180 lbs and was 250lbs when I was paddling this boat in AK (with a dry suit and layers). It is definitely a boat made for larger paddlers. I'm selling because I don't fit anymore and don't need a boat with this much storage anymore (and haven't for a long time). It is absolutely enormous and can hold a ludicrous amount of gear, including 4 bear cans (brown bears in AK). She is also as seaworthy as she is enormous. I have paddled this boat is 15-20 foot pacific swell fully loaded in 30kts of wind and had not a single worry. She is FAST and seaworthy. She has scratches one would associate w expedition use, and one gelcoat repair but is absolutely watertight save for a small leak through the skeg-slider housing into the dayhatch (I just can't seem to fix it.) that leaks maybe a liter a day in rough paddling. 17’10” long New skeg cable, slider, and housing 2019 New keel strip (has always had a keel strip) 2019 All new hatch covers 2019 New reflective deck lines, handles and bungee 2019 Cleaned, polished, and waxed 2019 ALWAYS stored inside Custom foam backrest Reasonable offers and barter will always be considered. pics here: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/375830039718918/ Quote
