Description

The  Perception Outlaw 11.5 Fishing Kayak is a sit-on-top kayak engineered specifically for anglers who prioritize stability, storage, and ease of rigging—all at a budget-friendly price point under.

Key Features & Design Highlights

Elevated Seating & Standing Platform
Features a fold-away frame seat that raises the paddler 5 inches above deck—a standout for sight casting and maintaining visibility—yet can stow flat to maximize deck space.

Wide Open Deck with Storage
Expansive bow and stern tankwells accommodate gear or a 35 L cooler; the stern deck offers customization potential for DIY setups.

Intuitive Angling Setup
Includes dual, “double-barrel” rod holders, molded tray and cup holders, a mesh paddle park, and a transducer-friendly scupper slot.

Convenient Rigging
Side handles double as gear tracks; three “solo mount” recesses allow gear attachment without drilling; other molded-in handles assist with transport.

Performance Features
Traction pads offer grip and whisper-quiet paddling. Self-bailing hull combined with durable polyethylene construction ensures rugged and low-maintenance use.

Cons:

• Considered heavy—77 lb can be awkward for solo transport.

• Slow paddling speed and reduced maneuverability, especially in windy or current-heavy conditions.

• Some users found converting to a motorized platform required DIY modifications

The  Perception Outlaw 11.5 Fishing Kayak delivers:

• Excellent stability for standing and casting

• Elevated, comfortable seating

• Extensive storage and rigging adaptability

• Durable, fishing-focused design at a reasonable price

Ideal for anglers looking for user-friendly, customizable kayak experience—just be prepared for a slower pace on long paddles and plan for handling its weight during transport.
