Bummer Brad.
I have my old Nomad (Orange 8.5) in my garage collecting dust. It has a crack under the thigh as well, that The Doof fixed for me. I think it's ok to paddle. I haven't actually paddled it since Doof fixed it. You can always have Doof buff it up a bit for you.
Anyways, I'd be willing to part with her if you (or someone else wanted). Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in. Boys gotta keep paddling right?
Cost? Some beers maybe? Hee hee.
Looking at your list of missing items, you could have my old Stohlquist rescue vest as well. Theivery is bullsh*t.
