    Bulk head is foam blocks between the storage portal and the cock pit. They are useless anyway since most have vents to let water through anyway.

    Perception makes a good yak overall.

    It needs a drain plug added to it, but that's $5.

    I never heard of this model but here is a review http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/forum/showthread.php?p=588961

    You have my # if you need me dumbass.

    If you want to know if it's a good price look it up and see what it costs for a new one. Swiftly is a fucking joke. That's not a kayak.. It's a hard plastic tube.

    I prefer the sit on tops for ocean, bay and slow moving rivers/creeks... Easier storage, easier getting in and out

    Ive been kayaking for 10 years in one and probably have more miles logged in one of them then most people do in a lifetime. I think I went out for at least 10 full day trips last summer alone and never had an issue.

    It is what it is a $300 yak.

    No one here is hitting white water with them and I never had an issue breaking through 6' waves at the shore.

    Skill > kayak brand/make

    Well correct me if I'm wrong but you spend most of your time in the pine barrens in narrow winding rivers? You need a small boat for that. Definitely not what I would want to take in open water though.

    Correct - some are 3' wide and fast moving compared to the Delaware. And I also agree they aren't good in open water - that's why I got the 12'. The swifty will work fine just not ideal. I also have nothing to compare it to like you can so I don't know any better. I did feel a little sketchy out in the bay drunk at 2am, but then again I was drunk so..... no fucks given :D

    I'm just saying IMO they aren't "a fucking joke" for my needs. I will agree they are just an over sized piece of plastic cause they are.

    WTF you trolling for :D

    We all bust balls in here. No fucks given by me or Josh I'm sure. It's all in good fun :)
