In Response To: Re: Q700 - Handling/skill level question (sing)

: It may be worth trying to paddle 700 more though there may be no reason if
: you're finding a similar performance from your storm (of course, you may
: also not be getting the "performance" because you're tense and
: nervous in the 700). I would think it be pretty easy to sell that boat in
: the used market.

Well, I paddled a Mariner II and my Q700 in flat water this afternoon. The Mariner has .5" more beam and .5" less waterline beam than the 700, so more hull flare. I felt perfectly comfortable in the Mariner, far less wiggly. Will try both boats tomorrow on Lake Erie in some waves. May have a buyer for the Q700 and will probably buy the Mariner II.

Thanks for the input and suggestions. It will be interesting to see how everything feels tomorrow in the waves.

Jim
