Pretty weird at 19.5 feet.  The original SL (we sold a bunch) was in the 17'
range even in f/g.  Very similar to the Eclipse and also the Easy Rider
Eskimo.  I never heard of a longer model and I was on the Perception/
Auquaterra advisory board for a number of years.

Matt, do you have beta on a long sea lion??

Anywho, quite a deal at a hun fifty!!!!  :-)))

19.5' sounded pretty odd to me too.  I remember paddling a plastic Sea Lion 
in  the first kayak class I took and that it was 17'2" long and 22.5" wide.

Definitely.  I've seen several plastic versions of the Sea Lion going for 
$500- $600 in the past few years.
