: The Silhouette struck me as being very deep.

: I also found it not to have much initial stability, and tons of directional
: stability when upright.

: Does it seem deep to you, too, or was that just my perception?

My impresson was just the opposite, so I broke out my trusty tape measure. The deck of the Silhouette is 1/4" higher than that of the Anas Acuta, but because the coaming is recessed, the coaming is actually 1/4" lower than on the AA.

The Legend is pretty deep and the Shadow is a cave, by comparison.
