In Response To: Stability and Kayak Weight Question (Jim Chase)

If you are trying to choose between boats, go with the lighter one and, if you want more stability, stow some weight to make up the difference. After a couple of outings, you will leave the ballast at home and be gratefull every time you lift the boat onto the car rack.
