Already tried a friends' , so I knew what I was getting.
Pros: reasonably stable, moves at a good clip. Forward and reverse a plus. Price was good
Cons: rudder is fine for gradual turns, not so much for changing direction (too small). Also a few simple cheap DIY mods to the rudder steering (cable and add washers) make it much smoother. As others have mentioned, rod holders are useless, but a crate will be used anyway.

I Purchased this Kayak in 2017 and used it pretty hard for fishing in Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. I was experiencing difficulty with locking the drive system either down or up but could not get it to work for both positions.
I contacted Perception about the problem. I was instructed to perform Various fixes which did not rectify the problem. Apparently, the alignment of the mounting plates was machined out of tolerances.
To my shock, I was sent an entirely new replacement kayak. Kudos to Perception from a customer service standpoint.
After receiving the replacement Perception Pescador Pilot I moved for work and I was no longer able go fishing weekly.
Today, I was able to take replacement kayak out fishing. The drive system issues were gone and that system worked flawlessly.
Unfortunately, the kayak was taking on a significant amount of water. When I got the boat out of the water the hull was filled with 5 inches of water. I popped the rear drain plug and was able to drain the hull.
The quality control issues with this design, model and company are frustrating.
I have not yet had time to trouble shoot the problem but a quick inspection shows really rough areas around the scupper holes which may or may not be the problem.
Q:
I’m only 5’0 with very short legs 24in - my husband was looking at this for me, but forgets my legs aren’t very long to reach peddles on most things. How adjustable is this kayak? Is it able to go down that far in adjustment?
A:
Hi Tiffany,
I would recommend a smaller size kayak, one say 10' long as opposed to the 12' one your husband is recommending. The seat is adjustable but I would agree with you, shorter legs require a shorter kayak. Thank for the question. Have a good day.
A:
This would be all that the maker makes available in terms of a manual for the kayak. https://www.perceptionkayaks.com/us/sites/default/files/documents/products/Pilot%20PRC%20Full%20Owners%20Manual-English_0.pdf
