    Perfect - After This Warranty Issue...

    I purchased the Showdown this Spring when it was on sale at a fantastic discount! The kayak required minor assembly. You need to install the seat base, seat, and rudder. The rudder is connected to the steering control via two cables. Then the rudder is attached to the bracket on the stern. My PROBLEM was that the rudder worked perfectly when assembled. BUT - the first time on the water, as I returned to shore, I raised the rudder and it completely disintegrated! The hub on which the rudder rotates fell apart, and the pieces were lost in the dark water. The GOOD NEWS is that Perception/Confluence VERY PROMPTLY sent me a complete new hub assembly. It was then that I noticed that the hub pulley is formed with two halves, connected by only a TINY 1/2" screw! When this tiny screw fell out, the hub fell apart. I made a HUGE improvement to this design by reassembling the two halves with a tiny BOLT and LOCKNUT. Now it can never fall apart again! Here is a written and visual description of this process: https://www.greatoutthere.online/post/fix-perception-showdown-kayak Confluence provided fast delivery of the missing parts t no charge. I can't believe more owners haven't experienced this failure? This tiny screw isn't something that you would think to examine - if the rudder works, you just launch the boat! Confluence was notified of this issue and agreed to examine this design for future models. PS. I have since bent the retainer rod on the prop drive by running into a rock! I contacted Confluence to purchase this part - but they insisted on sending me the complete assembly ($70.00 value) for FREE!! The company is going through some hard times, but i have been 110% satisfied with their customer service!

    Still Has Not Came

    Honestly the worst online purchase experience I made. I was elligable for a discount, but they would not apply it online. A online representative told me I could go to the store to get the discount, but had to within 2 weeks of purchase. I drove an hour and the manager told me I had to receive the product first. It has since been 3 weeks, I contact the delivery company every other day and consistently get blown off. My only advice is to purchase from the physical store. This online crap is baloney.

    Great Kayak

    Great price, great kayak. Thanks to Dicks i have upgraded to a pedal kayak. The quality is awesome. Will be recommending and buying more for sure.

    Amazing Value But Wish I Knew

    That I should loctite like every bolt and screw on this thing. The rudder axle fell apart and the pulleys and axle fell into the lake, gone forever. But I’ve enjoyed it. The pedal seems a bit louder than it should though

    Great

    I like it a lot, good value and nice features, good quality
