you said it yourself..

" The stability took a huge turn for the worse..."

If the kayak is un-paddleable, what fun is it? What is your stability factor?
I'm currently building Scott Campbells E18 design. I stretched it to 19' and narrowed it to 19.5". It still has a stability factor of 75.

Personally, I wouldn't look to the rec-class for competition.
