The Kayaks

A few years ago my parents made us a deal we couldn't refuse on their old kayaks.  We used them for a few years and decided recently that we wanted up upgrade to larger boats that fit us a little better.  Lisa's boat was way too large for her and mine was too small so neither of us were all that comfortable.  I put them out on our front lawn and they sold in one day, for just a little less than we paid for them.  I ordered a Perception Eclipse 17 for myself after test fitting a bunch of different boats.  Lisa felt the most comfortable in a Perception Avatar 15.5, it happened to be a leftover from 2003 so we got awesome deal on it.  While trying to adjust it to fit her perfectly we realized that all the hardware on the right side of the boat was mounted 3" too far forward.  Our dealer got Perception to step up and correct their screw up.  They replaced the boat with a brand new 2005 model, the deal of the century they called it.  These will be a lot faster than what we had and it's amazing how different they feel to sit in, they even have gel seats!  They won't be quite as easy to maneuver and won't be quite as stable but that's part of the fun!  As we get out on day and weekend trips we'll be sure to add pictures below.
