I was thinking of a foam pad between the front hatch and the FF hatch - or he could just sit in the back compartment where the live bait well sits - but, would it be strong enough to support his weight? Any ideas? Trading in for a tandem yak is an option, but not one I'm considering.
Check out Craigslist or the for sale section on here and you can often find Kayaks that are ready to go. I recommend getting something that is a stable yak, Cobras are great starting out yaks and sell fast if you want to upgrade. If he has his own yak he'll be more comfortable and it will be a better trip for the both of you.
