One of the kayaks my dad bought for fishing is a tandem. It is made by Loon. The kayak works well and can be paddled by one person. It is very stable, I can even stand up in it for sight fishing. However, it is MUCH slower than the Acadia and it tracks poorly in even a slight breeze. It acts more like a wind-vane which can get really annoying. It wants to ride broadside to the wind & waves and it takes a lot of effort to hold it on any other path. Something to think about. Another thing to consider is that with the added width & weight, paddling against the currents in the sound might be harder. Still, having the extra space is nice... Most of the aboce problems will go away with 2 paddlers. But I would not want to fish out of it with 2 people.
