: I am trying to decide which kayak is right for us.My question is will a 17 ft
: hard-chine steer easier than a 15 ft 8 in. multi-chine?

The 17 ft. Arctic Tern from Pygmy is much more maneuverable than either the 15 ft. 8 in. Osprey or Golden Eye. Both of the latter are strong tracking boats that might not be suitable for paddling in a river, depending on the river.
