Perception Pescador Pilot pedal drive kayak

It is sealed for saltwater.

This  will make it so much easier for lake inspections. Not having to worry about opening a hatch and the inspector finding some water residue.

Got it. Looked it over. looks like one small circular hatch in the rear ? And guessing maybe one under the seat ?

No hatches under the seat that I remember.

That does look pretty nice. No front hatch...but that might actually free up more space for your fish. What's the weight?

About 85lbs with drive and seat.

And it's only 12'? Must be built like a tank.

I was actually thinking that's light if you consider the seat & drive might weigh 8-15lbs...?

The Revo 16 has a claimed hull weight of 75 pounds so that seems heavy to me but still manageable.

The Perception Pilot, as well as our new boat, the Native/LL Manta Ray 12, would be more comparable to a Hobie Outback in weight based upon size and length.  They're all around 85-90lbs, 12.5 feet, 33" wide.

Good point. Definitely looks like a serious contender, especially at that price.
