Hi Mark, Usually I paddle a flatwaterboat and I have experience in a SeaLion and several other boats (also so called beginners boats). I recently hired a PE Perception Carolina for a flat water trip. To me it felt like a bathtub. No responsiveness and a huge initial stability. No fun for me. So it depends what you like, but if you want to stay longer with the sport, I would go for a more sporty boat.
