:
: I'm not sure I can get enough of the ends out of the water to make
: effective leaned turns. Frankly, there'd be so little volume to go
: underwater to lift the stem and stern. Thoughts?

Shawn,
I think you're right, my green boat floats right at the deck seam when I balance brace. It does not matter how much I lean it it won't turn fast. If I put someone 30 or 40 pounds lighter than me in it, they can spin it around fast. the brown boat which you paddled has more volume and lifts the ends when leaned and turns fine for me.
