The reason(s) I like the Folbot(my two)was that they are so darn stable !
I could sit on the side of the large cockpit, I have even been able to stand up and paddle/look!
This comes in handy in the Florida Everglades, believe me !
I know!
But! I am not into racing kayaks!
I need a boat and kayaks fit the bill, that are very easy to turn, back up and reach over and SMACK that nasty black water "moc" !
(Who wants to share a ride !)
One was over six foot long !

Why hasn't some one designed a kayak with a broader beam for more stability?
From whose of us who don't race and/or aren't "Purists"!
And! In kit form?
I WILL! Be bringing (send) a couple back from China when I get over there this March !
