Hey Yella
I've had a single seat version of the sit-on-top you're talking about for a few years and its been great. there are scuppers that go through from top to bottom and you can whack a rod in there if the handle isn't too bulky. I've fished dams, creeks and the estuary with it and its no problem. You'll get nothing but positives from me as far as fishing out of them goes. You can drag them over rapids and not worry about putting a hole in it. And with a bit of thought you can fit a rod holder if you really need to.
There is a model that can double as a single or a tandem but I can't recall what model it was - quite expensive if I remember. Google kayaks and you'll find more than you need!

Another tick for the Viking Espri - I got mine last weekend and it's magic. Just back from Straddie where I tried it out in the surf and in the calmer water south of Amity. Loads of room and stable. If you talk to the guys at Viking they should be able to stick a couple of rod holders on one for you.

Yet to catch a fish from mine though but no worries, I bought it more for freshwater stuff.

Cheers

yella,
Scuppers are the holes through the hull that allow the water that comes over the side drain out.
I had a look at these while I was in anaconda today, they are a fair bit bigger than I expected, if your missus is a fairly small lady then you would probably have plenty of room for the both of you. The fit out options are quite ordinary, but where there's a will there's a way.
I also found one on ebay, down the goldy. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Used-2-person...QQcmdZViewItem
As has been stated, a double kayak can be VERY hard to handle on your own, and often two singles is a far better option. The best thing to do would be to have a paddle of one. I hope this helps in some way.

Hi Yella
Boy, this is my 4th post tonight !!
Canoedle is right, he's helped me before. That double is a no bet for sure.
My girl loves fishing too but a double kayak?.. forget it.
I bought a second hand Perception 'Acadia' 370... loved it. It's a sit in, I added the rod holders and off I went. Thing was you couldn't go out fishing with anyone.
This week I broke the bank and bought a Swing.
I've got a sit in and a sit on and Di and I can fish together or me over here and her over there.
If you don't get the fish you'll love the paddle!
See you Paul

is it easy to stack the yaks if i got 2?
ive only got a lancer coupe so it might be a bit hard with two on the roff yeah???

[Canoedle]

Depends on your racks mate, I've got a old suby wagon and I've had two kayaks on it a few times. Having said that, if I was going to be taking two kayaks a fair distance I'd prefer to use my 6x4 trailer.
