I will be looking at this boat on Monday the guy wants 500. I was looking for something more hi tech than my 15 sit on top Ocean Trident. I may buy something next year new but this could tide me over and give me some experience this year without dumping 3500 or more. If I sold it in the spring for 300 I would not care. If I like it I would keep it. Seems like Perception generally have drop keels. Any drastic changes in kayaks in the last 5 years? My friend said it is fiberglass construction? This guy bought this bought new 5-6 years ago he said and it has been sitting in his garage. If their is no seat I guess I cn find one to fit fairly easy? Thanks
