That 12' pescador kicks a flat bottom boats butt all around. Maneuverability, noise, weight, speed, amount of water needed to float, everything about it is a jillion times better than a traditional boat when person powered. I own one. For the money you can't buy a better kayak, and ask google...you can easily find a ton of people who agree with me.
Unless of course, you need to have two people. I'd get two kayaks. Then when she doesn't want to go you don't have to haul around a tin can.
Plus you can throw a kayak in just about anywhere you can get to water.
