I kayak and fish with my kids. I own 2 SOTs - one tandem Ocean Kayak (OK) Malibu (model from OK not the brand Malibu) and one OK Scrambler (single). We like them a lot and I feel safe in them but they are a bit on the heavy side. I was checking out the Malibu that you are interested in and they look really nice and they have recieved good reviews. I talked to some dealers on them and if they have any left-overs they were willing to deal. I got pretty good deals on mine on craigslist so keep your eyes open. Try and get some extras such as a paddle, pfd and seat thrown in. It all adds up. Good Luck!!!
