SFJ--I think the term "divorce boats" was applied to kayak doubles, i.e., real sea kayak doubles. It was applicable to them, but the tandem--nothing sweeter for a couple. I think your used AIs will be fine, but when you upgrade, you might think of a tandem.

What Keith said!
The Hobie's are the only tandems that are not divorce boats, just the opposite in fact. We came from SIK's and had a double. Trying to co-ordinate paddling was a nightmare and it was easy to see how they get the 'divorce boat' tag.
Our first Hobie was a tandem and we really enjoyed it from the first pedal. No co-ord issues at all. Each can pedal at their own pace.
We sold it when we got our TI but have missed it's simplicity so much that we have just ordered the latest Oasis so we can head out together for a quick pedal easily. We love the TI for day trips or longer but for a short trip of a few hours the Oasis can't be beat!
