This kayak is for the recreational angler and cruiser who wants pedals without a big boat or a big bill. If you fish lakes, ponds, and calm coastal water, and you like the idea of keeping your hands free for casting or photography, the Crank fits. It also works great as a fun family boat for exploring coves and shoreline.

Why it stands out
- The pedal drive system: The Crank’s pedal drive gives you smooth forward and reverse without pulling the drive out of the boat.
- Stability and handling: At 35 inches wide, the Crank is a stable sit-on-top that most anglers can fish from confidently.
- Seat comfort and fishing features: The adjustable captain’s chair is the lawn-chair style seat Perception is known for: roomy, supportive, and easy to get in and out of.
- Paddle performance and the rudder: When you want a break from pedaling, the Crank paddles fine for a 10-foot wide boat, and the side paddle park keeps your paddle secure while you fish.
