I have a second issue with my current boat: I love playing in decent 
waves, but I'll have a "whoopsie!" moment and then I'll tense up and 
everything just goes downhill from there. So I'm looking for more 
stability in a boat.

We are using Valley PE Avocet, Aquanaut LV and Aquanaut HV in our club
and we like them and are buying more of the same. The Avocet is the best
but it is too small for me.
We had the boats delivered with the seats separate so that we could
install them in positions of our own liking. We didn't quite agree with
the Valley location. Only a matter of a few centimetres but we want to
have a good layback when rolling.
To our surprise the Aquanaut HV (High Volume) didn't have as much room
for legs as the Aquanaut LV. Test it for yourself.
The deck control for the skeg wire has been changed recently. Be sure to
get the new one if possible.
Good luck.

Regards
Jens Viggo Moesmand
