nice boat......

By Ranked #47 - Kayaks May 8, 2011

I have a fiberglass QCC cockpit kayak, but this tandem is pretty nice when you want to kayak with someone. It's very stable and relatively easy to paddle. When I picked it up, I kayaked several lakes in central California by myself and it wasn't difficult at all. You can slide the seats around to several different positions which makes solo kayaking possible. Also, the seats can come out very easily which is great when you want to come ashore and just relax.... no need to carry other gear and certainly more comfortable than just sitting on a blanket or towel. And the seats are surprisingly comfortable. Maybe the biggest reason to buy this tandem over others. Mine seems to have a tendency to track a bit left, but not a huge problem. I'm looking to fit it with a rudder which should make for much easier tracking..... but certainly not necessary. I'm very pleased with it. Again, the adjustable/removeable seats are the biggest selling point on this tandem.
