2 person Kayak

[rattleL]

me and my girlfriend are looking to buy a two person kayak any recommendations. We have done it before at a place where you rented them but any help from someone who knows in regards to size length and cost ranges.

Best advice is to go out and try some different makes and models out. Sun Splash in Ely is a great place to start, and Midwest Mountaineering does some things in the cities.

We have a Wilderness Systems Pamlico and it's great for what we use it for. Basic recreation, paddling lakes and rivers, nothing fancy. It won't accept a skirt, so we don't take it out in any rough stuff. What's nice is that it can be a two-person, or, with a couple quick adjustments can also be a solo. Very versatile that way.

We also added a rudder to ours. When soloing you don't need it, but it is useful with two people. My strokes are stronger than my wife's, and that tends to affect our tracking quite a bit. The rudder solved that though.

Are the kinds at gander or cabelas any good we would just be using it for some light recreational paddling on smaller lakes and probably keep it up at her cabin.

Sorry, just got out of the BWCA and just got back to this post.

I have paddled some of those and they were just fine and should do everything you need them to do.
