Don't do it
My first kayak purchase was that nifty looking pelican tandem that Costco sells each year around this time for 5 bills. Took my then 8-year old son out to J street for a paddle to see how it would handle. Only moderate wind chop that day, but he got soaked due to the lack of rocker in the design. Gotta love Costco, returned it and got an OK Malibu 2 elsewhere (which I wouldn't recommend for a fishing yak) for about the same price and am much happier with its performance, though it lacks much storage space and outfitting it is a bit tricky. As previous poster said, my boat has much thicker plastic than the pelican brand. I'm sure it would be fine for truly flat water, but neither of our bays is truly flat much past 10 am most days.
