Well I may have to go back to the drawing board. I told my wife that I had narrowed it down to (4) models the Cobra Navigator, Fish and Dive, Native Manta Ray 14, and the Redfish 14. She wanted to see them so i showed her online and she realized that they arent tandem models. I tried to explain that the tandems arent ideal for solo paddling, she still wants the option to be able to go with me. So my next question, what is the best tandem to paddle solo?

[macojoe]

Get a smaller cheaper one for herself!! She doesn't need anything special like you!!
Or get a cheap canoe for when you guys want to go together. But I would not go with a tandem for yourself as I am sure you wouldn't be happy with it.

MJ is correct. I would vote against a tandem.
#1. They do everything a good kayak does only not as well. You're compromising everything.
#2. It's a good way to end a marriage. Nothing worse than two people paddling out of synch with each other and she will not enjoy the periodic "accidental" whack in the back of the head from your paddle.
#3. You'll both end up wetter at the end of the day.
Seriously. You're better off to get a small sit in type for her to tag along on those rare occasions that she does feel like venturing out with you.

I AGREE!!!


Get you a good quality fishin yak (all you the ones you stated above are excellent) and then get her a separate sit on top. They even make pink ones! Tell her that! Maybe that will convince her...you love her enough to get her her OWN PINK ONE! Yeah...thats it!!!

Ya'll ain't reading deep enough into this.
"I want a tandem type" translates into "I want to go but don't want to paddle".
Either way I also agree, GET HER OWN.
