I have a KR1 that has the same stretch as the KR2S in boat stage for sale. Foam and fiberglass, closed spars with second inspection done, And some extras. You won't find better workmanship on any other project. You may be able to get it real cheap. Dave 314 971 3433 cell call anytime, Early or late.
