The Jackson Big Tuna has the nice seats and room for two, but honestly tandems are a real pain to force into fishing service. You ought to just deal with the tandem when you want to spend time with your wife and get a single for times you're serious about fishing.
I have three small kids, so I kinda have to have a tandem around, maybe more than one in all reality. Sorry to hear it's not working out for you. BTW, I'm 160# and maybe my light weight, and paddling with children, is keeping me higher off the water?

I'm about 215 lbs so I do sit lower in the water. I think what bothers me most is there is no way for the water to drain from the seat. The back of the yak drains right into the seat. I would have designed it with scuppers so the seat isn't a reservoir. I have yet to try it solo yet but will pretty soon. I like the seats I bought so that is a plus. I don't mind getting wet but I would appreciate a way for the seat to drain. Maybe with version two the designers will be actual kayakers and try the yak out in rough water. It will be fine in the summer time.
