I've had this kayak for around 2 months now and have been able to take it out on around 5/6 trips. This quick review is a review from what I have experienced so far. It should be noted everyone's experience will differ based on the waters you will fish. I fish freshwater lakes and rivers so this review will be for those waters. I'll review based on some categories: 1. Shipping/Assembly. +The kayak arrived quickly and undamaged. I received the kayak about 1 week after placing the order. You will have to make an appointment and be present for the delivery. Must sign for this item. +The kayak arrives with the following: Kayak,Pedal Drive, Bungee for both front and rear storage, Rudder and Gear Track - X2. All items arrived safely and undamaged. +The Pedal Drive is easy to assemble. If more instructions are needed, there is a step by step video on Youtube. -The Rudder assembly, while not difficult, did not come with instructions. This may have been a missed item in my order but it was a slight annoyance. Again, Youtube or Perception's website can assist. 2. Pedal Drive / Rudder Operation. +As a huge selling point of this kayak, I feel both systems are outstanding. The pedal drive has allowed me to quickly travel up and down river as well as around lakes. Pedaling is effortless and can be sustained for hours. Times where I had difficulty Pedaling against the current have become times where I fly up river. +The rudder works great in keeping you tracking well. When I am fishing rivers, I was able to stay almost stationary with occasional pedaling. The rudder kept the kayak from drifting one way in the current. -When pedaling for longer duration trips, I have had issues with the nuts which attach the pedals to the drive, coming lose. While this is a small issue, it can be annoying. I also had to tighten the rudder lines when I originally received the kayak. I have had no issues with the rudder since. Solution to both = Keep two Allen Wrenches in your bag, 1 for the Pedals and 1 for rudder adjustments on the fly. +Pedal drive seems to be very well made and durable. I have struck bottom many times (Shallow Rivers) and have not had any damage to the drive or Rudder. ****** I saw many people asking the depth required for the drive to work. Based on my experiences, the drive needs around 14'' to 16'' of water to work. Again, some people's results may vary based on weight in the kayak. 3. Ease of Use / Additional Features +The ability to transfer from having a lowered drive to flush with the bottom is amazing. It lets me cover ground quickly in deeper water and then explore extremely shallow areas if I wish as well. The process to lift the pedal driver up is easy and can be done in seconds once you get the hang of it. +The Kayak comes with a paddle holder (bungee type) on the side. I have found that my paddle is held securely and can be accessed quickly if needed. +The chair is very comfortable and can be easily adjusted for any height to get the best position to pedal. This is very nice when you decided to anchor and sit for awhile. I am able to stretch my legs and relax. +Front and Rear storage areas offer a large amount of room to work with. Am able to fit fishing bag, cooler and additional items in rear storage alone. -Storage inside hull could use work. The hole is very small and almost impossible to access while on the water. ****I have not used the two gear tracks much yet so, no review there. 4. Stability +I have had no issues with stability. I am able to move around and access front and rear storage easily without fear of tipping. ****It should be noted, I have not tried to stand in this kayak yet Final Verdict: Overall, I feel like this kayak is exactly what I wanted. For the price, I would buy another one in a heartbeat. The kayak has major positive points and very few negative. Most negative points can be dealt with just by being prepared and taking a few minutes prior to launch. Overall, I would highly recommend this kayak.

I was excited, kayak was just delivered. It was plastic wrapped with some cardboard wrapped in a few areas. Not the greatest pack job but it looked okay. They unloaded in front of my garage and I took some of the plastic wrap off. Everything looked fine as far as kayak, no scratches, no cracks, no damage. I thought, YES ! Signed for it, driver and helper left as I finished taking cardboard and plastic off. Set the drive system that was in it's own box off to the left side, checked out the disassembled seat, looks really comfy for long trips on the water. This thing is a beast and I am super impressed. The rudder has to be installed so I started with that. Everything went okay. Then I opened the box for the drive system and 2 smaller bolts fell out. Okay, found them and set them off to the side. examining the prop and whole drive system, I saw it was missing the cranks and pedals. So, I went through all the packaging, all compartments and realized the cranks and pedals were not there, NOOOO! I tried the bolts on the cranks and they are to small, still don't know what they go to. I came inside and contacted Amazon thinking they might be in the delivery truck in a seperate box that might have fallen out. The options I got were to return or replace. This kayak is great, but I wanted it complete. After all, I paid for it to be complete, not for parts missing. Of course I want a replacement, same color and all. Took the day off and now I will have to take another day off for redelivery. They said it would be possible to pick up from my house, which is nice. If I can make one BIG suggestion. Make the delivery folks stay there and do a complete inspection that it's all there before you sign and before they leave. My mistake for not doing that with the excitement. I'll adjust my rating to the timeline and quality once I have what I paid for and had a chance to take it out. UPDATE: Amazon was great got everything set up for exchange and quick after a quick call. Kayak was delivered this morning and everything was as it should be. Guys from the delivery company were cool and extremely helpful. They also waited for me to open everything up and confirm everything was there. As of now, happy with everything and even mounted transducer , and mounts for rod holder and fish finder. I'll give a usability update as soon as I hit the water, likely late next week.

I have been wanting this kayak since this model came out last year. We were very hesitant to make such a large purchase online, but it isn't sold in our region. Since I've had such a positive experience buying from Amazon sellers, we took a chance. I am thrilled with the results. The kayak arrived on time in excellent condition from the seller, and it is easy to use. I am a 55 year old woman in good health, and find it manageable with the use of a kayak cart to transport it from the truck to the landing, although I do have to transport the pedal drive separately to make the overall weight manageable. It is comfortable and fun to use, and I can't wait to get back on the water soon! UPDATE 6/10/17 I have had the kayak and used it for several months now. If you are seriously considering purchasing the Pescador Pilot you have probably become aware that Perception has encountered some problems with the pedal drive prior to models manufactured before February 2017. Since mine was purchased prior to that, I did encounter occasional problems with the prop free spinning and the quick key slipping. Thankfully, we contacted Perception and they sent out an entirely new pedal drive within a week, with instructions on the installation. My husband installed it, and the new drive works perfectly with no slipping or free spinning at all. I would definitely still recommend this kayak. I love it, and it is great to know that Perception stands behind their products.
