Hobie Mirage Outfitter tandem kayak for solo use? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Does anyone have a Hobie Mirage Outfitter tandem kayak and used it solo?

I have a Malibu Stealth 12 that has been my fishing kayak for the last couple of years but I much prefer to pedal vs paddle so I'm thinking about selling it.

I got the tandem Hobie from a friend since my wife loves the idea of us being able to go out together.
About 75% of the time though, I would be going out by myself.

If I can use the tandem Hobie for solo fishing, it would kill 2 birds with one stone and free up some space in the garage.

Both kayaks are around 12.5' but the Hobie is noticeable heavier so it's definitely harder to move around by myself.
I'll just have to use the kayak cart more on the Hobie versus just picking up and carrying the Stealth 12.

I don't have a truck right now so don't have the ability to just test it.
