The rear tankwell is spacious enough to accommodate a cooler, and it comes bungee rigged to protect your equipment.

Adding a bungee is fairly easy, and it would make a big difference for its overall storage capacity. In terms of storage capacity, the bow offers a molded storage tray that is too shallow and lacks bungee cords to secure the items you put there. Featuresīeing an entry-level tandem kayak, the Rambler 13.5 doesn’t come packed with features.Īt the bow and stern, the kayak features two toggle carrying handles and two molded-in hand grips on each side of the cockpit. After the mold cools down, you get a one-piece, leak-proof construction that is extremely rugged and durable. The process involves pouring beads of polyethylene into the mold, which gets heated up and slowly rotated so that the material fills up every nook and cranny. Perception makes their kayaks from a proprietary High-Density Polyethylene material using the company-specific, one-piece rotational molding technology. Being on a heavier side means a higher limit for taking anything you need on a day cruise or a camping trip. On the other hand, its maximum load capacity of 550 lbs (249 kg) allows the paddlers to take gear and supplies without worrying if the boat can carry the load. Securing the kayak during transport is also something to think about because the Rambler Tandem doesn’t come with molded or sturdy carrying handles. Transportation and storage will require some landing gear or carts because of the length. It is a bit heavier than the Perception Tribe Tandem 13.5, but being a tandem, two people can carry it without a problem. The kayak weighs 78 lbs (35 kg), which is the main complaint about the boat. The Rambler Tandem is a heavy kayak for one person. This kayak is all about exercise and fun.ġ0 Best Kayaks for Beginners: Reviews and Buying Guide Size and Weight Interestingly, the Rambler Tandem is very popular with grandparents who love taking the kids out on a cruise.
