Tandem tourers

I have recently become interested in kayak touring and would like to get some
opinions about tandem touring boats. I live in central Pennsylvania and would
be using it mostly on lakes and rivers with an occasional trip to the Outer
Banks or similar destinations. I am thinking poly because I know that I will
be dealing with rocks and possibly low water on rivers. I realize that I will
be giving up some speed and some weight. My wife and I have done short tours
in Arcadia and Ocracoke, and did a one week tour in the Queen Charlottes. In
addition, have a fair amount of experience paddling tandem canoes.

I have looked (online) at such boats as the Necky Amaruk, the Prijon Excursion,
the Perception Carolina II, and the Dagger Trinidad. Any thoughts on any of
these boats? Other recommendations? I would like to stay under 17' 6" and 100
lbs. Not looking for extended touring. Daytripping and 2-3 night max
overnight (we pack light).

Thanks Mike

My wife and I have a Necky Amaruk going on 3 yrs. now. Like you, we
started off renting and finally ran up on an end of season sale and
bought one. It does everything we want and more and is easy to handle
in and out of the water. We do lakes and ocean trips.
Good luck on your selection.
