Was a great deal. I Am looking forward to using it.

I took it out on the Meramec River in MO. The Kayak rides high in the water, excellent stability, easy to get on and off, I felt safe on it and it was better than my Pelican sit in Kayak. I did re enforce the seat buckles with zip ties. All in all I would buy it again..

We love these kayaks! They are the first ones we have ever had and we like the features that they have. Waterproof storage comes in handy for our phones and keys. The straps on the back hold our life vests nicely. The reclining seatbacks are nice as well, except one of straps sometimes breaks free if you lean back to hard. Might have to fix that one. Otherwise we are very happy with them!

I typically prefer a sit in kayak, but the crosswater was a very smooth and comfortable ride

I got a Tacoma several years ago and really liked it. Wanted to get my wife a shorter lighter one and this Hydros really for the bill. Lots of good fishing features and only 40 lbs.

I love it, stable, confortable and spectacular, good material, perfect size light weight, EXCELLENT PURCHASE for beginners

5 Cat24
I bought this kayak for my son for small trips out and some light fishing. It has 2 fishing rod holders and comes with a paddle so I didn ’ t have to spend more money to buy one separately. He is very happy with his kayak.

5 Kpopp
Bought this as a second kayak to our 13. 5 rambler. We are a family of 4 and kids are getting bigger. One of us uses this while the other three go in the big kayak. It is smooth and easy for kids to use. We bought this about 3 years ago and it ’s still going strong. Only down side is that it only holds 225lbs( or so it says), and the price is getting higher when there are other kayaks same price that hold more weight.

I bought this kayak last spring and have used it so many times, primarily upstream on the river. Its comfortable and has been from when I began kayaking at 260 lbs and still today at 170lbs:) highly recommend, this thing has become my best friend.

5 KandA
Have n't used but the quality looks good and the price was much more reasonable

5 Happy in Maryland
I bought this at the store, the employees were very helpful and knowledgeable. This is my first kayak, and I could n't have been happier on my first outing. I 'm 65, and bigger than the average lady, so I wanted to be sure I got a stable, easy to use kayak. Launching and getting out were easy, I felt very secure. I recommend this to anyone who wants a sit- in kayak with several bells and whistles.

5 Mad mertz
I got it about two months ago For the price excellent Tracking excellent. I have no problem with this kayak Beautiful product with definitely buying another one

5 Spanky McGuyver
Bought this a few months back, after tiring of shore fishing. Best thing I ever did, to step up my game. The Yak Attack accessories are flawless, especially the Gear Trac rod holders. Kayak itself has ample room, lightweight and easily maneuverable

I got this as a Mother ’s Day gift and so far it ’s perfect. Last year I had purchased a Sundolphin Journey 10 SS and returned after 1 use. I ’ ve taken my new Perception Pescador out a couple of times and it ’s super stable and it tracks well. It ’s a little heavier than I ’ d like but I still love it.

5 BMaiuro
My wife and I recently purchased two of these kayaks and they are very good for the price. Plenty of storage and stability is not an issue( I am 6 ’ and just under 300lbs). Great product for general purpose use such as lakes, slow rivers and calm bays. The rod holders are too shallow but with some ingenuity they are useable.

Overall, this is a really nice kayak for the price point... especially on sale. It's solid and durable, which also makes it a bit heavy. I do have a handful of complaints. First of all, the rod holders behind the seat are huge. The diameter is quite large, which increases the chance of losing a rod. I find it ridiculous that Perception sells inserts for these. The second complaint is the side handles. Aesthetically they are great. They are streamlined and sleek. Functionally, they 're less than perfect. You can only grip them one way. The cavity is on the inside of the boat so you 're fingers can only grip that side. It makes it more difficult to load on top of a vehicle. The front rod holder is n't great either. There's a RAM mount, but's it's a 1- 1/2 '' ball, which limits your options. You could get a 1 '' ball, but it's$ 20+. A small deck hatch, right in front of the seat would have been nice for phone/keys/etc. The seats not bad. I would still recommend as no boat in this range is going to be perfect.
