From one Paul to another:

Find a place that sells sea kayaks. Look at what they are asking for a similar sized kayak. Yours has only been paddled twice? Buff up the varnish with a bit of auto wax and consider it as new. It is probably bettter than any other boat on the market, so price it accordingly. If you get an offer for less, then it is up to you as to whether to accept the offer or wait for a better one.
