Perception introduced the sit-on-top Search Series Kayaks to give recreational paddlers a stable, easy-to-handle boat that keeps the smile on your face all day. The bow of the ten-foot Search Kayak is super buoyant for those paddlers who dig a little surf action. If you're looking for a kayak with storage for a full-day paddle, choose the 15-foot Search Series Kayak. A bow storage compartment holds your lunch and other daily necessities while the Search Series Kayaks' rear cargo deck secures a dry bag for extra gear or your tackle box. Both Search Series Kayaks have comfortable, adjustable seats.
Bottom Line: Count on the Perception Search Series Kayaks to give you a stable ride when you're out for a little fun on the water.
After fishing in my prowler 13 for a season, I demoed the search 13. It's faster and much dryer. I used to plug my scuppers all the time in the P13 (I'm 5'8 175lbs). Now I go scupperless all the time. Worth every penny.
65lbs is no joke though, big difference between the 50lbs of the P13. Keep in mind that this comes with the seat, unlike other kayaks - and seats cost $100-150 for most.
I went to Texas two weeks ago and did alot of paddling in Cayon Lake,and Lake Texan. The Perception Search 13 was great. It paddled with very little energy used, track very well , has a little weather head, but all in all a great yak . Looking forward to doing some fishing soon.
Just up graded from 12 ft ocean kayak speck model to search model.
Wow what a difference very stable ,dry.fast boat.
Was sitting in water in the speck.
Only had the search out 1 time but what a great boat.
My plans are to use for offshore and bay water fishing.
Best boat i ever paddled for the money.
At 60 lbs its easy to handle.
i'm 5'8" 172 lbs and the only water i noticed in cockpit is down by foot scupper holes.
yes i would definetly recommend this boat to experienced or noobie paddler
