8'4" long..has some wear and tear but no holes just scrapes and scratches but nothing deep or worth concern, and drain plug works as it should...I just re-rinsed and abated river rocks and small gravel, seat is in good shape but could likely use new foam as its seperating...Price new for these is between 700 and 900
I dont know kayaks but I know how to research things and this seems like a cool ass find
Heres what I was able to find
The Necky Jive is a classic "old school" whitewater kayak celebrated for its versatility as a river runner and a surf-friendly playboat. Although Necky Kayaks ceased production in 2017, the Jive remains a popular choice on the used market for its speed, "hard rails" (sharp edges) that allow for aggressive carving, and ease of rolling.
Performance CharacteristicsSurfing & Speed: The Jive is often compared to a "longboard" because its length provides excellent forward speed, making it easier to catch smaller or less steep waves compared to modern, stubbier playboats.River Running: It tracks well and maintains its line even in "pushy" water up to Class IV, though it is most commonly recommended for Class II and III rapids.Technique Builder: While very fun, it is considered "unforgiving" due to its edgy design. This makes it an excellent boat for learning proper posture and edging techniques.Ease of Rolling: Many paddlers report that the Jive is exceptionally easy to roll, often helping "shitty but hopeful" paddlers gain confidence in their self-rescue skills (Not my words but seems honest).
No matter what your skill level or what you want to tackle, the Jive is your best friend all the way. With a planing hull, hard rails, and perfect balance, the Jive can surf, spin, play and river run all with equal amplob. It's the Miles Davis of kayaks--there's always an occasion.
