I am also amazed at how well it tracks, even in wind. I am never fighting to stay on course (unlike the Trident which likes to turn into the wind). The only drawback is that it does not come with built in hatches and does not have any designated space for rod holders and such. If you use your creativity though, I’m sure you can figure out the solution to these issues. I give the Malibu Two XL 4.8 stars out of 5, highly recommended if you are looking for a tandem kayak. Note that this kayak, although a tandem, is still shorter and lighter than my Trident. I am considering buying one this summer if I find anyone who wants to go fishing with me!

There are no problems with turning great maneuverability. It has two medium hatches; one in the middle and one in the front which are great for storage on long trips or, instead of stringers for your fish, you can pop open a hatch and put the fish in. The large trunk works well as a large livewell/bait tank. The trunk holds my 11 gallon livewell, milk crate and rod holders. You can’t stand on this kayak but it’s stable when sitting and tilting. The only real CON to me is it’s limited room for gear.

The rod pod in the center holds fishing poles so you can access them on the water and you can store them if you are landing in surf. The built in rod holders are nice, sometimes I tap my rods when paddling though. Other fishing features include a fishfinder cover, a scupper hole that is designed to be used with Humminbird fishfinder transducers, and a hanging case to keep your fishfinder battery dry and sealed.

I am thoroughly satisfied with this kayak, especially because I fish big waters often. The only thing I want is the rudder to keep it tracking straighter and help manuever. Check out the vids on youtube of the guys who fish for Halibut in Alaska, there’s a reason why they all use Trident 15s.
