Perception Rambler 135 Tandem Kayak Review
As the name says, Perception Rambler 135 Tandem Kayak is for two persons and so far, I have enjoyed my time using it with my sister.
It is recommended to use it in steady waters like a lake, in the sea if the waves aren’t that high, on slow rivers or anything like that. So this boat isn’t meant for professional use, despite that, it is pretty good for everything else.
Perception Rambler 135 Tandem Kayak – Specs:
Some of the features included are: two Harmony Adult Universal PFDs and two Drifter Paddles, good performance for beginners, intermediate and seasoned paddlers, Harmony life vest with universal fit. Harmony paddle boasts a durable aluminum construction, tank well with bungee, it weighs 74 lbs., it has a maximum weight capacity of 550 lbs. and it is designed for recreation.
As you see from the maximum weight, this kayak is really sturdy and it can hold two adults (even heavier ones) easily and also, you can store some heavier things in it. Although, when you reach the weight limit, it is a lot harder to control, so unless the kayak isn’t fully loaded, you will have a great time.
If you want to go on faster rivers, you should be careful because the kayak is not made for cutting through the waves that well and you will probably get a bit wet from the rough ride. But if you go on calm waters, you will see that the kayak is very stable and you can even stand on your legs while another person is paddling and you will not fall from the kayak.
The kayak is a bit heavier than it should, so it can be a bit hard to carry it after you, but it is manageable and it is a minor issue compared with what features it offers. I guess that is the price of building a sturdy kayak, so you don’t need to worry that you will break it and you also don’t need to worry about the weights you are putting on it.
Perception Rambler 135 Tandem Kayak Review – Conclusion
In conclusion, if you wanted to buy a budget tandem kayak for recreational purposes, this might be the right one, it also has a warranty in case you have problems with it, but in most cases there shouldn’t be any problems and you can save some money when you buy it.
