This might be a key component in why you and I have had such differing experiences with the same model of kayak? My metabolism is crazy active, so I have been tall and lanky my whole life. It's cool that I can eat whatever I want without any visible consequence, but it's a silent killer. I have to try hard to not go nuts and lead myself toward a heart attack!

I was like that until I turned about 35, then everything changed and weight was hard to keep off. A combination of hard work and a high metabolism meant I was eating 5 meals a day and not putting on weight but that all changed. Now I have to watch everything I eat and I don't work hard any more. It's probably also why my boat sits low in the water. Are you part of OEX Dave?

I wasn't sure, I know they took good care of me when I bought the Malibu P2T though I wish I had waited and bought something different. It is doing the job right now but it is hard to set up for fishing. I can't figure out if I want the Native Tandem or the Jackson Cuda. I want to find something easy to paddle but stable so my wife feel secure. I need to paddle both solo so I can see how it will work for me but I also need to get her in them so we can see how they work tandem. In the meantime I need to stop in one of the stores and have them install another hatch on the P2T.

Thanks, just grabbed one. It doesn't have the stain release treatment of the one I linked above, but it's a good price.
