: I have a Sea Tour 15. It's very stable. Google says his boat is
: about 51 pounds, so I would expect he'd also find a pretty big
: difference in acceleration unless he's heavy.

Yep I've paddled Stephen's boat and it's very stable, most of Tom's boats are, even the skinny ones. Secondary stablity is amazing since you're sitting so far below the water and most of these designs have considerable flare.
