I just don't think I could justify spending $5-6k for a kayak that size for the ocean. You can get a nice little skiff (17') for that price and have WAY more range and speed. It just takes the simplicity out of kayak fishing, but hey, to each his own.

I agree, paying $6k for a kayak that will get you the same experience as a kayak that cost about 1/3 the price doesn't make sense and Let's not forget the extras.

If I had $6k I'd rather dump it into a boat or a smaller kayak and save the balance for a rainy day but like you said, to each his own.

I can't imagine having two guys on that thing in rough seas and I also would assume that the end result would not be good if both riders are not fully coordinated

I turned back a mile out today on my 17ft cc. Waiting to hear how it went...

If I was taking a big hobie tandem offshore to hunt tuna, I would go from Dana Landing.

But, then again, I'm probably pulling the plug on my planned offshore kayak trip tomorrow on account of not wanting to get blown to smithereens.
