I've been away for a while and missed several replies. The Sea Tour R is a single chined boat. The multi-chine version is the Sea Tour EXP and is a couple inches wider with what appears to be a flatter bottom. I probably put a lot of weight on the side of the coaming when getting out with numb legs. I'm 71 and need a bit more flexibility to put it mildly! I'll try sitting on the three rear deck beams as well as pushing on the gunnels to exit. The much lower deck height compared to my plastic boat doesn't make it any easier on these old knees to straighten out! Thanks for all the replies. This is a great forum!
