WTB tandem that can be used solo

My mom wants to buy a SOT kayak that can be used tandem/solo. Her budget is around 500. Let me know if you have anything in good shape.

Many manufactures have tried to accomplish this, but IMHO none really have.  Tell her to buy a single and rent a boat for the occasional paddle partner.

Hi Yaker:

        I hope you Mom is a strong Woman. I tried a tandem and it was like a Barge. I second Sean advice.
        I would keep it light and fast
                                                                  Good Luck
                                                       

Try the OK Malibu 2 or the WS 130T or the Malibu Pro 2 tandem. But whatever you do...don't get an OK Aegean! Ever.
I think the OK Malibu 2 paddles as well as my old Drifter.

I have a Malibu Pro2 Tandem...this probally what you're looking for that fits in your budget...pm me if you are interested.
