Tandem tourers

(Mtkkburk) wrote in message ...
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

Have you considered a Folbot double? Could be just the thing. They
are plenty sturdy.
