Ll bean manatee 2 ?

Perception makes great budget kayaks, anything below it is not single mold or as hard. They are usa made. LL Bean off brand kayaks by perception are the same, they tend to be cheaper then buying a perception alone and are usually packaged with paddles and accessories. But are the same product basically and quality control, made by perception, for LLBean to distribute under them. I have a LL Bean Cascadia, which is a perception access 9.5, exact model, solid single mold. Im happy with it. I also have an actual Perception, as far as quality and color (fade pattern), same product. On a budget this is the way to go. I was searching for an Access 9.5 and couldnt find it anywhere, my research lead me to LL Bean version, couldn't be happier it was available.
