17.0 for long rides and the 16.5 for a little more maneuverability.

Grab your map, stash your touring gear in storage hatches, and settle into the comfort of the Perception Essence 17.0 Touring Kayak. Built for long-haul paddling, this boat pierces through choppy conditions and tracks straight as an arrow with its height-adjustable drop skeg. Adjustable foot and thigh braces and ergonomically-padded EXP seating take the bite out of sitting for extended periods of time. Take the week-long sea voyage you've been dreaming of because this long boat was built for expeditions.
