The reasoning is that tandems are a pain in the ass to use in a solo configuration; I should know since I own a tandem. The oasis will be a slightly greater challenge, because there isn't a solo seating position. You'll want to ballast the front seat to keep it level. Tandems are great for two people, but ideally you want to have a tandem and a single. It sounds impractical, but you'll be happier in the long run.

Oasis for me! 100% solo fishing. Having said that, understand a tandem is not for everyone.

Have you tried driving the Oasis from the front seat solo?

This is a lake but, the Oasis is stable enough for 2 to stand and fish...

I have an oasis and it's an awesome tandem kayak, but I have never used it solo and I am tempted to buy an outback or PA to go solo!
