Online review:
The Wilderness Systems Pamlico Excel is an older recreational tandem sit-inside kayak known for its open cockpit, ample storage, and stability for family use, though it can be quite heavy and may flip in rough conditions. Features often include adjustable seating, storage for gear, and an optional rudder for added maneuverability, making it well-suited for calm waters like lakes, rivers, and protected bays.

Key Characteristics
Versatile Use:
The open cockpit provides ample room for passengers, children, and gear, making it suitable for a wide range of users and activities.
Open Cockpit:
Unlike many kayaks, the Pamlico Excel features a wide, open cockpit that allows for easy entry and exit and can accommodate a child or pets comfortably.
Stability:
It is designed with a rounded hull and is very stable, especially on flat water, which is great for beginners and family outings.
Storage:
The kayak offers plenty of interior and exterior storage, with bungee deck rigging for quick-access items and a stern bulkhead for more secure storage.
Optional Rudder: INCLUDED
Many models, including the Excel, were available with an optional rudder system to improve tracking and maneuverability, which is particularly helpful in wind or current.
Paddling Style:
Its primary design is for recreational touring and family trips on calm waters; its stability can be compromised in rougher conditions or strong crosswinds, according to reviews.
These kayaks new sell for $1300.
