In Response To: Strip: Seat Height and Stability (Jim Kozel)

You might try downloading BearboatPro which has a stability calculation built in. You can create a kayak similar to the one that you are contemplating and then simply play with increasing the height of the center of gravity and the width of the boat and see how much these variables affect the stability curves.
