    Hi everybody I am new to kayaking. Wanted something decent inflatable for lakes slow rivers. I bought Sevylor K5 Quikpak from USA seller. When it came I inflated it left overnight. But unfortunately it deflated about 2/3 of size. Not happy is this is new out of the box. I stripped the outer layer to see whats going on. All arround boat /main chaimber / is welded seam.On right side of the boat nicely neatly made and cut..on the left side however poorly and excessively cut. With few places where u can actually see the layers of materials.The best thing would be to send it back to seller /this would cost me 150+ Eur :( from Ireland to Florida / I am thinking about to get it fixed. Does anybody know where is the best place in Dublin / Waterford or in between pls?

    There is a place in the Marina industrial estate in Cork city that makes a load of plastic gear and inflatable stuff. I can't remember the name as I have passed the place a few times. If your stuck I will try and get the name this week.

    From the sound of it, you bought it on ebay? Complain to the seller.
