I have paddled that model many times. If I look at the water while paddling it I want to turn over. It seems to have a rather round bottom. I think that contributes to its poor secondary stability. As a point of reference I have owned a Pintail and and Avocet. I loved both of those boats by Valley. I recently took a Nordkapp out in lumpy water and thought it was fun and playful but you better pay attention until you get used to it. It was a nice boat overall.

Mark, Unless you have a particular boat in mind, check out the Capella RM 166. I LOVE mine. The initial stability is fairly good and the secondary is much better than my Gulfstream ever was (although not quite as good as my Foster Shadow). The boat maneuvers well on edge and is fast. Plus the best part is there is plenty of room in there for people our size.
