The boat is in VERY GOOD used condition.
I have paddles, spray skirts, paddle floats and other accessories that can be purchased with the boat, upon request. (Everything needed to get out on the water.)
The Perception Eclipse is a highly regarded 17 foot sea kayak designed for efficiency, stability, and tracking in open water, often favored for touring and in rough conditions. It is generally available in durable rotomolded plastic and features a rudder system for maneuverability.
Key Features and Performance:
Design & Handling: The 17-foot model is known for high stability and good tracking, making it excellent for covering distance. It performs well in wind and chop, especially with the rudder deployed.
Storage & Comfort: It includes front and rear hatches, a day hatch, and comfortable seating with thigh braces.
Capacity: It has a substantial capacity, around 325–350 lbs.
Versatility: While primarily a sea kayak, its design allows it to handle various conditions, from calm lakes to coastal waves.
Specifications (Approximate)
Length: Waterline - 17', LOA - 17'4"
Weight: 58–70 lbs

The Eclipse is often recommended as a reliable, long-lasting, and affordable option for intermediate paddlers or those looking for a capable, older touring boat.
