  • The kayak arrived on time in excellent condition from the seller
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. ... show more

  • Mixed Feelings
Stable and comfortable, however the ruder control is difficult to use. So difficult that I often find myself using the paddle instead of the pedal drive. I have had trouble with getting spear parts for the kayak, however that could be due to increased demand over the past two years. However Perception was not very helpful assigning spare parts. I have mixed feelings about this kayak. ... show more

  • PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THIS DISTRIBUTOR IS WORTHLESS!!! SHOULD BE BANNED FROM AMAZON
WORST PRODUCT EVER!!! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! ONLY THING WORSE THAN THE PRODUCT IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND LACK OF SUPPORT FROM DISTRIBUTOR!!!!!! I have attempted to resolve the issue for 2 months with no success. I even sent them copies of the issue and proof that the manufacturer has admitted there is a design flaw and needs to fixed and even then they have made no effort to resolve. DON'T BY ANYTHING OR ANY PRODUCT FROM THIS DISTRIBUTOR!!!!!! I AM EVEN SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING DELETING MY AMAZON ACCOUNT OVER MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISSATISFACTION WITH THIS AMAZON DISTRIBUTOR AND PRODUCT. ... show more

  • CRITICAL PART MISSING !!! - Update
This is a great kayak and I would have given it five stars if it were not for the critical missing part. The nob that secures the paddle drive shaft was missing when I received the kayak. I was able to get a proper nut / lock washer / washer from NAPA auto parts to secure the pin and get into the water. Unfortunately, I will have to keep a wrench with me at all times to allow me to remove the entire drive system. Contacted the seller and they promised to send me the missing part. The missing part arrived today! Great customer service and great Kayak. I bought another matching one for my wife. Changing my rating to 5 stars! ... show more

  • Very Stable Kayak!
I use the Precision Pescador Pilot for fly fishing. I have managed to take it out on two test runs it handles quite well. On my third trip I boated a 30 inch Tiger Musky, and had no problems with stability, even when the Musky was a hand full. The rope to pull the rudder up and down could work easier. Quite pleased with my purchase. ... show more

  • Awesome
Awesome kayaks, everything went together easily. Pedal drive is smooth, easily on the knees, and a comfortable seat. We fish the Laguna Madre and there is always a wind and current...No problem....Added a milk crate, painted to match our kayaks, to hold our Dry box, misc stuff, Flag with a light, and rod holders. Fits perfect in the back and the pre-installed bungees hold it and everything else in place. I use the kayaks rod holders as tool/hook holders. On the right slide rail, I added a small deck cleat and a eye to tie a anchor/ or drift anchor, and a stringer....net is behind the chair.....Life jacket on....Now off to fish. ... show more

  • Need to do upgrades
Go to YouTube and see the upgrades that people have done, you'll be happy you did. It is a pretty nice kayak for the price though.
