My wife and I found a couple of used i9s that we are thinking of buying. They are about 5 years old and haven't been used much in the last 3 years. Is there anything that I should be concerned about with them being 5 years old? I'm going to look a them tomorrow so any advice would be appreciated. TIA!

the only concern I would have as to how the i9's were stored. what were the conditions? Hight and low temps, outside in the sun or stored in the bag indoors. One other concern would be how long they were stored and not used.

If at all possible I would want to buy after airing up the yak and letting it sit for several hours and check the air pressure again. Even better if they will let you use the yak on the water and see if it leaks when on the water.

Good luck
