I'm moving from a sit-on-top to a sit-in kayak, ... The Perception Carolina 12 is at the top of my wish list. But my budget says that if I go for a Pelican Pursuit 120 DXL I can buy it now.

You know — plastic molded in seat, awkward backrest that you never quite get adjusted, little holes under your butt constantly reminding you of the water temperature. That’s not the Pelican Catch 120.
