I bought a used Perception Acadia 2 years ago and I love it. I do recreational kayaking in the Upper Cumberland and enjoy most creeping up the creeks as a far as I can - which is usually just a few inches. When I got it the bottom hull of the cockpit was sunk in. The seller told me that was normal and would happen on the first outing with a new one. Is this correct?
