Necky Manitou II Tandem Kayak

Kayaks & Boating > KayaksRated: *** by 1 review.

Backcountry.com

Grab a paddling partner and head down to the river with Necky's Manitou 2 Tandem Kayak. The Manitou 2 glides like a touring kayak with the stability and comfort of a recreational kayak. An extended keel provides smooth tracking—even if your friend in the front isn't as savvy a paddler as you are. Bring Rover along in the larger back cockpit, or purchase a kid's jump seat (not included) and bring your little one along for their first boat ride. When you want to go it alone, adjust the back seat for a solo paddle. Move the back of the Manitou 2 Tandem Kayak's seat forward, backwards or up to give yourself lumbar support, and bring up the bottom of Necky's kayak seat to relieve stress on your legs as you paddle. Store snacks and drinks in the stern hatch and get out into nature's wilderness.

Good Beginner kayak

Rating:***

I bought this as a beginner, for my wife and I. It has been good in calm waters, but it has problems tracking at higher paddling speeds. The bottom of the kayak indents when both her and I are in it, and I think that affects its fluid dynamics a lot. i also got it without a rudder, and I am going to put one on because it is hard to steer compared to other kayaks. I weigh 180 and she is 150 and it seems maxed out with our weight...it flexes a little too much...i would not recommend this. The harder kayaks seem more stable.
