HELP!

 

Can anyone give me some advice on this model, my local shop is doing a bloody good deal on it at the moment and i'm sorely tempted over an elite or standard p13 (we're talking £400ish).

 

Im 6'4" and 16 stone, so no doubt you'll all be telling be to get a scupper pro!!!!!! or P15

 

Thank loads for you r help in advance!!

Taking money out of it which is the one you really want?

If you're unsure of the one you want then recommend trying to arrange a test paddle. Where abouts are you based?

 

The second hand sit on top market is buoyant. If you buy a kayak at a significantly reduced price you should have no problem selling it (ebay) should it not be the right one for you.

I dont know, thats why i'm asking!!!

 

Seriously though, just found out that the perception is now the same price a sthe OKP13a, shop assistant gave the price for the "surf" spec boat. I have read review of the prowler here and elswehere, 50% say its great, 50% talk of quality issues with the newer models.

 

I lik ethe idea of the scupper proTW but at a shade under 16 st with 38" waist, i fear it may be a little bit of a squeeze.

 

I've never been one to follow the crowd and so my heart is saying go for the perception. I'm going over to bournemouth Canoes tommorow so i can put the contenders side by side and really get a feel for where the differences lie.

my other post seems to have vanished into cyberspace, , but it basicaly said that i wanted a scupper but am probabaly to much of a lard arse, so wanting to be different, fancied the perception!!

hello jonnboy

i have the freedom angler and im happy with it. if your getting it for £400 you've got a good deal only thing i don't like about it is the rod holder at the front is a bit of a stretch to get to if your trawling but other than that its great

Sad news Jonnyboy. Your probably a little on the large size for a Scupper but the P15 is an option. No harm intended.
