Default FS: Perception Sonoma 13.5 Touring Kayak

For Sale: Perception Sonoma 13.5 kayak. Like new, only used twice in calm
water. It's a bit small for me. This is a great all-around touring kayak,
suitable for use on lightly moving water, bays, or even the ocean. Digital
photos are available. New cost is $1100, buy this almost new one from me for
$750. The color is red and white (very nice looking). Comes with
Perception's five-year warranty (with more than four years remaining).

Located in the Philadelphia, Pa., area. I may be able to arrange meeting
within a reasonable distance (100 miles).

More info and a photo of the boat is available on this outfitter's Web site:
http://www.sonomaoutfitters.com/pad_...er_sonoma.html. A description of
the features follows:

The Sonoma 13.5 is a day-touring kayak that tips the scales at approximately
39 lbs. The Sonoma uses a new proprietary hull material called Airalite?.
The thermoformed material is stiff and light like a traditional composite
kayak and with similar looks * but it costs considerably less. Composite
materials such as Aramid? Fiber and fiberglass have long been seen as the
best possible hull materials, but they require highly skilled workers and
labor-intensive processes, which make them expensive when compared to hull
materials like polyethylene that can be rotationally molded. Now with the
introduction of Airalite? by Perception Kayaks, there is a new choice.

Key Features:

* COMFORT FIT OUTFITTING
* ONE DECK HATCH WITH STORAGE FOR MULTI-DAY TRIPS
* THERMOFOAM SEAT PAD
* THERMOFORMED SEAT
* RATCHET ADJ BACKBAND
* BOW AND STERN DECK RIGGING
