How many years has it been since freefalls were made? I paddled one back around '92 or so - & the bulk of them were made roughly that long ago. I'd seriously worry about the durability of the plastic in a boat from that era. Even if it was stored perfectly & not abused in any way. I've seen more than one properly cared for boat (Perception, Dagger, etc) just disintegrate in class 3 rapids at the 6-10 year mark...
