Anyone have any experience with the perception overflow x (kayak)? I just stumbled onto a great deal and was looking for a white water boat. I am about 155lbs. The water i'll be on will be smaller rivers, id say class 3 and 4. looking for any type of advice on this thing. I've done some really lame white water stuff in the boat that i use to fish out of, a perception swifty 9.5. Does anyone know how the two compare?

pretty sure the overflow is more of a creek boat, and the x prolly means it's meant for a bigger paddler (200lb+). that might become a problem as your paddling skills improve: it's really hard to roll a boat while falling out of it.

but it'll still perform much better than the swifty...

Thanks for the help. Since he wants to trade straight up do you think i would be better off trading and maybe trading again down the road for something else, or would the swifty be a better bargining tool for later?
prolly easier to sell/barter a whitewater boat in the paddling community than a recreational boat...
see if the seller will include outfitting and gear (float bags, skirt, paddle, PFD, helm), as that will greatly tip the balance in yr favor.
