Just took mine out on Saturday for the first time. Took some use getting in and out, but loved the ride! I will post again once I get into the bay and actually go fishing! Thanks for the review!
Awesome! Glad to hear you got one! Let me know how it handles in the bay. I am planning some salt water trips this spring/summer and will be taking mine out! So far I have only had it in Pensacola Bay for a short time. Did good there, but it was pretty much like a big lake with strong current lol. Thanks for watching!
You’ve put that yak through the ringer for sure. If the lakes by me weren’t so shallow and full of random trees I’d get a peddler. Great video brother.
Yeah, thats how it is in Devils Kitchen lake. I usually just keep the pedals up and paddle that one. Thanks for watching!
Nice review. Especially after 1 year of solid use. Great video for someone who is seriously looking for one. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! Means a lot to us!
Great, realistic review of a boat with some battle scars and some miles on the clock. That's a tough yak. I have an old Perception sit-inside yak that an idiot friend of my son managed to dump out of my truck and drag down the road by a chain looped under the seat. It suffered some superficial scratches and a crack in the seat support, but was fine otherwise. I still have the boat 20 years later.
lol THAT IS AWESOME! I hav e3 different yaks and I have to say the Perception yaks are some beasts they really do hold up! thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Good review, had mine for 3 summers now and have the same opinion.👍
I agree with everything you said.. it's a great piece of fishing kit.. I have my one for a year now and it's in great shape, indestructible.. 😁😁
Yes it is! Thanks for watching!
I just ordered one last night😎 Can’t wait to get this...
awesome! congrats! Im sure you will love it. I have nothing but good things to say about it!
Great video.. this particular kayak has been on my list for awhile now and after this video it has moved up a few spots
Its a great yak, I still got it and its still going strong!!
Thanks for the follow up on the kayak I still remember the video of you and the wife picking it up new!
LOL that was a crazy trip, What was supposed to take a round trip total of 3-4 hours ended up taking 8-10! I am horrible at logistics I guess. Thanks so much for watching!
I wake up and see another notification. 3 in a row, keep going like this and you will hit 1k easy
Went out today and filmed a little but didn't get enough for a good video, going out again in the morning.
I was thinking REALLY hard last spring about getting one of these, but time got away from me so THIS will be the year of the pilot!! Come spring I WILL have a Perception Pescador Pilot 12.0 or BUST!!!
Let me know when you get it and what you think!
@@ReelAdventures I will for sure.
Total kayak abuse,everything still sweet,nice review.Positive attitude fixes everything.Think I'll buy one 👍
Awesome! You will love it!
Got the same one for 800$ and the Striker for I think 3-350$ and a canoe for 250$ at a fall sale. Sucked because I waited all summer drooling over the pilot but planned on a striker because I couldn't afford 1800$. But it was worth the wait. But I've only had the striker and the canoe out last fall.a few times. Also bought a trailer for a 100$ that I'm customizing for my kayaks and my Yamaha tw200 for this summer. Plus picked up a low mileage 03 ranger to tow it all lol. Now I'm in gearing up mode. $$$$ and time $$$$ and time. Cant wait to get them on the back waters of the Mississippi come spring.
WOW! 800 is a HECK of a deal! Id buy another one for sure for 800!. I got mine for 1600 with a 300 paddle and tax included so I got a pretty good deal on mine. Had to drive a round trip of 10 hours lol but it was worth it. You need to send some pics or upload a video of your setup when you get it done, Id love to see it. Thanks for watching!
Holding up great! Sending this to my buddy. He’s looking for one. I’d whip somebodys butt if I caught them undoing my straps! Hate that happened to you. Awesome video!
Yeah when we were walking back to the truck we seen a suspicious looking character walking unusually close to the truck and trailer, from how it was parked it really was unnecessary for him to be that close. And that is the only explanation I could think of. I have ran this thing on a trailer for several days without checking the straps and never had them loosen up on me.
YakDaddy dang man hate that happened! Tough yak for sure!
Just got my Peception pilot last fall and haven't really had it out but a couple of times testing it out. Since you made this video are you still enjoying the yak? I can't wait to see how it does fishing and hanging out in the water for hours.
Yes I absolutely love my Pilot! I haven't got to take it out a whole lot this last month or so due to the weather and a death in the family but other than that I take it out every chance I get!! Thanks for watching!
Love your Vids! Did you do anything special to get the stickers to stay?
Thanks for the kind comment! No I just used the same type of decals that you would get for a car window... although some will try to peel in the cold weather on occassion
Nice
If I made a box to store this yack in .
Can it be stored standing up on its nose or tail?
What if I support it by rope inside the box 13' tall? A storage shed with roofing tar paper panels. And hinged doors.
You might be able to stand it up on its end, maybe, The only problem with standing it up on the rear or stern would be the Rudder, if you get it too straight up and down the rudder will hit and that wouldn't be good. It is a total of 12' 6" long so 13 foot should be plenty, however keep in mind these arent the lightest of yaks. I up-end mine every so often to drain it and it is quite the work out for one person. But with that being said, if you can manage to store it then I would make the purchase, this is an amazing yak. Good luck!
Mine is doing well too been tuning it up and getting it as customized as I can but I'm gonna make a video soon as well thx for sharing bro
Cant wait to see the video. let me know when its up
nice like
My dad just came across one for $800. Is this a good deal?
This is a great deal! I paid over 1700 for mine!!
Have u had any problems with the pedal drive I've heard of people saying that they broke and had to be sent back I've also heard they had a recall on them
The only problem I have had is where I bent the bolt that holds the Drive in place. I was cruising in about 10 feet of water and hit a stump at about 3.5 mph... Didn't break the prop or affect the drive in any way so that is great news, the drive itself is super sturdy. just bent the little 5 inch bolt that you remove to lower and raise the drive. I haven't heard of the drive giving any problems since the recall. They 'recalled" the drive after the first couple months of release. They sent everyone who bought the yak a new drive at no cost. not sure what the problem was but it was in the first two months of this yak coming out. if you have bought this after February of 2017 then it comes with the new drive so there is nothing to worry about. I absolutely love this yak, and for the price you cannot complain! I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you for watching!
stopped by my new friend
I just got one yesterday 499$ new
HOLY CRAP that is a great price. what kind did you get?
At Academy?
I got 2 for $499 at academy.. sold one yesterday for $1200.
You are the second person that told me about that sale! That is JUST AMAZING. I would go but another one if I had an Academy Sports near me. CONGRATS! on the New Yak AND CONGRATS on the hustle for making your $$ Back! Bravo
remind me to never loan this guy anything worth more than 10 ro 20 bucks
Can I borrow 20 bucks? need some new straps for the kayak trailer lol
@@ReelAdventures yeah, of course here you - oh wait a minute! lol
