>>1133276kayak newb here but i own a perception rambler 13.5. It's plastic tandem kaya rated to 500lbs - it'll carry 2 neckbeards and a cooler of beer and it only weighs ~90lbs. Bilge holes so no bucket necessary and a rear storage cavity with elastic rope to tie it down. I also got a caddie for ~50 on amazon so I could go it alone with the dog.
