: I need help determining what kayak to buy. I am looking to buy a tandem kayak. I looked at the Ocean Kayak Cabo and really like the features it had and I looked at the Cobra Tandem. I've been reading reviews of both and there have been favoble and not so favorable reviews, so I thought I would ask those who know.any help would be appreciated,thanks

I learned kayak fishing on a tandem Malibu II. It's very difficult to fish with 2 guys on a tandem. I saw YakAtak and Fishhead doing it from a Cobra Triple. They had plenty of room.
I think tandems are fine for paddling 2, but not as fine for fishing from. Ocean Kayak makes some good tandems, but I've only used the Malibu II and liked it. I've also heard from people that they really like their Pro 2 Tandem from Malibu Kayaks.
