The price for the radars are just for the kayak. That doesn't include the drive, which will come out this spring and costs $1100 by itself. Not to mention that price also doesn't include a rudder. You'd have to get on put on with a hand control if you wanted to later buy the pedal drive.

I had been recently looking at the Perception Pilot which is $1799. I won't say who I talked to because I don't think this vendor was supposed to tell me this, but there have been a ton of warranty issues with the perception pedal drive and Academy has completely pulled them from their stores because of this. If you were thinking of buying the pilot, I was advised to wait a few months until they fix the issues with the drive.
