Say you're about to pull the trigger on a SOT yak

Gander Mountain has the Perception Sport Caster 12.5 for $599. Dick's also has this and the fellow there told me they are likely to go on sale for $499 soon.

Bass Pro Shops has the Ascend FS12 for $479.

Just looking at the pictures (in the links provided) I see the Perception has adjustable foot pegs while the Ascend does not. The stern storage areas are also a bit different. From what I read, neither seat drains so that means wet butt either way.

Which would be a better boat in your opinion?

The perception. The ascend has zero secondary stability.
