INCLUDES : 1) the pictured cockpit cover, the yellow paddle and the blue spray skirt; nothing else.
This kayak has a built in rudder system.
The black bent shaft paddle and aluminum dolly pictured near the kayak are NOT included.
HULL : Perception developed the AIRALITE hull, a layer of acrylic over ABS plastic, to achieve stiffness and light weight, which makes it more rigid than rotomolded plastic, as rigid but lighter, slicker and more abrasion resistant than fiberglass and compares favorably to kevlar. ABS has been used for many years for durability in the bashing that white water kayaks and canoes are subjected to. The manufacturer decal inside states that this kayak weighs 51-54lb in Airalite. It has spent its life in a garage when not being used; the gel coat is shiny and unblemished, the bottom is not scraped beyond minimal.
FIT : the cockpit under deck height is 13” tall and the cockpit opening is 33” long X 18” wide (factory decal says 34”x19” but that is counting the combing.
It’s probably best for medium to extra large paddlers. Fits me very well with men’s size 11 shoes and 32” pants inseam with enough room to bend the legs sufficiently for a well braced triangle of feet, knees and butt. I wear medium waist pants, weigh 170lb. and know it could take someone larger or smaller. The pictured, original equipment seat padding is quite comfortable.
If you like how it fits you on our lawn, you are welcome to TRY IT OUT on a nearby pond.
TRADES : Would consider a trade/barter, (plus or minus cash) SPECIFICALLY for : 1). a 56 - 58 cm titanium or carbon frame road bike, OR 2) a 150cc or larger on or off road major brand motorcycle, OR 3) a 250cc or larger, major brand ATV, OR 4) personal protection - hunting items that go “bang”, OR 5) a higher end acoustic guitar, OR 6) 3 point hitch tractor attachments.
Please be very specific in describing what you have and the value you give to it.
TO CONTACT : If you would like a response, please text or email only and using a complete sentence, SPECIFICALLY mention the words : Perception Eclipse 17’ kayak. I am listing two other kayaks, so please be that specific. Also include your usable 10 digit phone number.
Thanks for looking and reading all of this.
