Perception Koho 11.5 Kayak

April 14, 2008

Hey, I have two boats, a 12ft sit in rec boat and a SOT almost identical to this, different brand. The SOT is MUCH better for me for overnights and such. Much more like an SUV, I can strap tons of stuff on it, like this boat a great space for a good sized cooler (very difficult to accomadate in a sit in boat) and the dry hatch space is almost as large as the main (rear) dry hatch in my sit it. Bottom line, don't worry about looking professional, worry about what will do the job for you and give you the best experience....and not having to learn rolls and such is not a bad thing, roll the SOT and you just roll it back while in the water and climb back on top.

Perception Koho 11.5 Kayak

From my experience I would say longer is generally better. Only reason to go shorter is if you can't lift a longer boat onto your car or whatever or money. Very doubtful your little rat terrier would cause stability problems from my experience...but for sure some boats are more stable than others. Generally the more stable (wider and/or flatter the hull) the more effort they take to paddle. Of course I've found virtually every kayak to be quite easy to paddle relative to every other choice out there, some are just better than others in that regard.

Great boat. I the "high end" version of this boat, has fishing pole holders and a big dry hatch up front. This is a great rec boat, especially if you like to take a lot of stuff with you. The back storage area easily holds a good sized cooler PLUS a few other things, you have the front storage area and it's as stable as any boat can be. I like to swim a lot and it's very easy for me to just hop of the boat in the middle of a lake and climb back on. I normally carry a cooler, a gas grill (strapped on the front) and lots of gear inside the hull, no dry bag necessary. I love it and use it MUCH more often than my 12 ft sit in rec boat, it's much more versatile.
