RE: The Best Tandem Fishing Kayak Ever!?
Good advice here - if the fiance really enjoys the kayak, then two singles are the way to go. If she will only be going with you occasionally, a tandem may work - almost all of them can be paddled/pedaled solo with no problem. Of the avaialble tandem models I know of, I could recommend the OK Malibu II XL, the Hobie Outfitter and the Native Watercraft Ultimate or Magic 14.5.The OK and Native boats can be demo'ed at Pensacola Kayak and Sail (Barrancas Ave. in P'cola) and the Hobie at Key Sailing on Quitetwater Beach.
The Native boats are new and easily adjustbale for solo or tandem and have the most comfortable seats on the market. Plus, they are so stable you can easily stand up in them. I tried it at their demo day 2 weeks ago.
The Hobie demo day is Sunday, April 6th. You can try out every model they make... Our club will be there with some Hobies rigged for fishing if you are interested... see you there.
