Only two years old, excellent condition, stored inside, rinsed after every use, minimal rash, absolutely no oil canning. Very comfortable, fast, and nimble–really fun boat under any conditions. Have paddled quite a bit of Class III/IV water in this boat, and it’s done great! Brand new bulkhead foam included. $750

I read Levi’s review of the Ozone on Facebook, and now I wonder how the Ozone and the Homeslice compare. Has anyone paddled a Homeslice?
