| scubadivr2's Full Review: Cobra Kayak Tandem |
Of course, as the other reviews indicate this is not the speediest kayak on the market; however, it wasn't designed to be. The fact that two 200 pound men could stand on this thing speaks to the tandem's main selling point: stability. I use this kayak for recreational purposes (I'm not sure what else you could use it for)-- I keep it on the deck of my sailboat. It's weight is comparable to similar models, maybe a little more. This kayak has much better construction than the types you buy at Wal-Mart, Costco, or those types of stores. I don't know the scientific difference in the plastic, but you can definitely tell that this one is better. Words of advice:
-Invest in decent seats, and don't even try it without a seat. I use Cobra's seats and they seem to be good quality, comfortable.
-Invest in carbon fiber handles: They are much lighter, and consequently more comfortable to hold over a longer period of time.
