Hello,
I'm looking at the Perception Eclipse (or possibly the Shadow, depending on
the fit - I'm rather tall and skinny) and was wondering if anyone has any
stories to tell about this boat (good or bad). In general, I'm looking for
a decent touring kayak in the 16' to 17' range that doesn't cost a fortune
(and the Eclipse is pretty pricey, even for the plastic model). I'm always
open to alternative suggestions.

What will I be using it for? Day trips down rivers near the chicago area
or southern wisconsin, small, medium, and large lakes (including L. Michigan).
