Same impression. Easy to paddle, and probably it is the fastest folder of this size, but you'd better not compare it with 16-17 ft hardshells. And one more thing - it is very stabile - more than it may seem looking at this small craft. It feels more stabile than hardshells of the same width. As to the seat - I'm sitting on my sleeping pad with some things to fill space between the tubes (without seasock or fabric seat); deeper dimple, less slippery and warmer than just fabric seat. I thought to make a foam seat like those that guys use in hardshells.
