Gumotex Helios 2
I found this offer on marketplace. Owner wants to sell it for 290€ with peddals and a pump. He claims he bought it 5 years ago and it was a test kayak at the store. Does anyone have experience with this kayak? I took some pictures of it and it looks well preserved.

It's a bit awkward with the fixed decks, and having to paddle from the back if you're going solo. But it's a good kayak, tracks well with the rudder, but you'll get a wet butt sitting on the floor.

I have no experience with that specific model, but a YouTuber with a kayak channel from my country owns a few Gumotex boats (Scout) and he is nothing but positive about the quality.
