I am absolutely in love with the perception striker 11.5 angler edition. The rotomolded hull is rugged and sturdy, yet comfortable to sit on. It is a sit on top design that is extremely stable. It's compact size doesn't short cut the capacity or customizing options. At a staggering weight capacity of 500 pounds and a included rod holder anchor and anchor trolley. It's already headed down the infinite path of customizing to your individual needs and taste. A large storage hatch at the bow of the boat and a small hatch right at the paddlers seat there is ample storage as well as bungee rigging on the bow and a large tank well behind the seat. The rear storage area also has a bungee cordage system as well. There is a cut out for a 5 gallon bucket to add for storage options. As far as performance it tracks well through the water it is not exactly a speed machine but I is easy to get going. It responds well to paddling. Over all the kayak has been a total joy to own and use on the water. As far as the seating goes there are two positions a low seating and a raised option. The lower choice is great for paddling and once in a spot you plan to fish you simply slide up into the raised seat for better fishing options and being able to sight fish for you. The kayak is just around 70lbs making it not to cumbersome to handle alone for loading and unloading as the name suggest it's 11.5 feet in length about 34" wide With handles molded into the sides and a pull rope on the front and back.
