is go for a classic goody,

PERCEPTION'S DANCER XL PRO-LINE ( Yes, XL means extra large )

It was actually called the Dancer XT <Extra Tubby> and IMNSHO is a real
piece of Siberian sheep dudu.  The original Dancer was a *classic* but
Perception really screwed up when the enlarged it <XT> and shrunk it <XS>.
The XT is tippy as heck, cockpit is too tall, edges are non-existant.
Granted you can find 'em for a hundred bucks or less, IMHO it's money down
the drain.  I'd still look for something modern.  The other problem with any
boat over 5 years old is the life span of the poly-plastic.  Most old
Dancers and such are either broken or due to in the near future.
