Perception Carolina 14 Kayak w/ Rudder



Great touring kayak
I used this kayak on a lake trip. It's a very fast boat. I like the storage compartments and the seat was very comfy. My only complaint is that it gets a little squirrelly with undercurrents in the water...but the rudder helps that. Could have more room for taller paddlers, I'm 6' and found it tight.


Boat trade-offs
This is a well-made and quality boat that has taken my wife and children for many a stable trip. The hatches are tight, the seating is comfortable and very adjustable. The hull is chined which adds to the tracking and flat for stability, but the trade-off is that it lacks cruising speed and grabs more current water than my Perception Eclipse 16. I would not recommend this boat for rough open water, whitewater, or choppy conditions. But for calm bays, lakes, and flat water it is an excellent choice for the beginner and tourer.
