This is perhaps a difficult question to answer at this stage.
I am planning to order a dune TI soon. Really looking forward to it!
But I wonder if I should wait for the definitive rudder fix.
I live in Hong Kong and would really like to have the kayak by March 1. It takes a bit longer for them to get here from the time of order, since the container shipments from the Australian distributor to here are not as frequent. So I'd like to order in the next month or so.
Is there any disadvantage of ordering the one with the current rudder and then replacing once the upgrade comes? Will the new boats get priority or will we get the fix right away? If there is absolutely no disadvantange in terms of either quality of the kayak after the mod and timing of arrival of the fix, I think I am ready to pull the trigger now and make sure I get the boat sooner.
BTW, I love the mirage kayaks. Great product! I have an i14t and therefore I am a bit slower than my friend on his Oasis. Looking forward to getting him back on that once I get the TI.
Thanks,
Pesan
