The problem with all of the boats that you listed is the fact that they are all serious displacement hulls. The truth of the matter is planning hulls work better. No manufacturer is introducing a dis hull boat, and except for a few old designs, no one is building them. Why buy an obsolete boat? Why not benefit from new technology and learn in a modern boat? I teach kayaking for a living and students learn soooooo much faster in a flat, modern hull. Just MNSHO.
