The Showdown 11.5 is the pedal-powered evolution of Perception’s Outlaw, with a removable forward and reverse pedal drive and rudder steering. A wide, flat deck with silent traction pads supports standing, and the elevated framed mesh seat improves line of sight and airflow. You also get double-barrel rod holders, a bow storage pod and side handles that double as gear tracks.
