- Is the Rambler 13.5 good for beginners?
- Yes. The wide hull is stable and the sit-on-top design is easy to climb back onto. Its length makes it track well, though it is heavy to carry.
- Can two adults and gear fit?
- Yes. The 550 lb maximum covers two adults plus a cooler or day bags. Keep the load balanced and within the limit.
- How does it compare with a shorter tandem?
- It tracks straighter and carries more, but it is heavier and slower to turn. Shorter tandems suit tight rivers; this one suits lakes and open water.
- Does it have dry storage?
- No sealed bulkhead. Gear sits on the open deck, so use dry bags and straps for anything that must stay dry.
- How do you transport it?
- It needs a roof rack or a trailer, and two people make loading easier. Straps at the bow and stern are recommended.
- What is included?
- The kayak comes with two seats and foot braces. Paddles, PFDs and a cart are sold separately.
- Where is the Perception Rambler 13.5 Tandem Kayak cheapest?
- At Dick's Sporting Goods, for $829.99, as of our latest check.
