Perception Mr Clean Playboat Kayak

Don't Buy This BoatThe Perception Mr Clean is a god-awful boat. I bought this one new back in 1999, without paddling it. It's spent the intervening years being moved between garages and sheds.Over at Playak the Mr Clean scores a surprising 3.4 stars, which I can only assume is the result of other fools who bought trying to game up the score in the hope of improving the second-hand value. I have to say, I've held on to this one in the hope it would become a vintage/retro classic and see some kind of revival, but as it's now 2017 I have to admit that was as foolish as buying the boat in the first place.Playak describe it as a "High-performance squirter comes in at a brief 7' 9", so there's no extra plastic to boss around. Loose for flatspinning and easy-to-initiate for cartwheeling."I would describe it as too long to be useful playboat and too slicy at the ends to be of any other use.

Though I begrudgingly admit it always made me smile in surf... Or at Mile End Mill... Or on the Upper Tryweryn... Other people have really enjoyed it: "Being young (just 15), weighing around 135-145lbs and being 5ft 8 with size 10 feet this boat is just perfect. It's nice on flat water and it's nice in upto grade 4 white water but nothing about this boat compares to how well it surfs. I take it to the sea at every opportunity I get. Other great things are the adjustable perception seat with adjustable crotch pad + the thigh braces and foot pegs. Pity the thigh braces aren't adjustable but they're fine where they are at the moment.

All I needed to do was adjust my seat and I was away. A1 boat! " (paddling.com review)Actually, now I think about it, this ridiculous, uncomfortable boat that causes me to lose all feeling in my legs, has been bloody brilliant fun! No major dents, scratches, welds, splits etc. Never been damaged.Collection from South Birmingham, B31 Reviews:http://playak.com/buyers-guide/boats-boards/perception-mr-clean https://paddling.com/reviews/product/perception-mr-clean-kayak/
