Perception Eclipse Series Kayak w/ Rudder

Item #PER0056 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

stable and steady

By Backcountry.com Alumni April 6, 2007

This is a great boat for anybody looking to get into kayak touring. It handles a large load very well, and is super comfortable. The only complaints are how much it weathercocks in the wind, but the rudder helps with that.
