I bought a i14t in 2007 and it has been amazing. No punctures. It's built like a tank. Mirage drives still work like new (probably because it's only ever been in fresh water).

I'm 50+ so I treated myself to a new i14t last year because of the new seats and I've had it out 3 times and more stuff has broken compared with my tank.

The quality of rubber seems much more inferior and because of that, I've had a puncture already.

One of the plastic clips broke in the first hour on its maiden voyage.

Anybody else experiencing a change in quality. I hope I'm wrong but these kayaks are a once every 10 year investment and I fear this could be my last.
