In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Sea tour question (Scott Shurlow)

I have a Sea Tour 15. It's very stable. Google says his boat is about 51 pounds, so I would expect he'd also find a pretty big difference in acceleration unless he's heavy.

: So I have a friend who wants me to build him a boat this winter. He
: currently has a Wilderness Systems capehorn which is 22 inches
: wide, 15 ft long. He wants something lighter weight and faster
: but still very stable. My thoughts are a Sea tour 15. Although
: it is similar dimensions, the lighter weight will make it
: faster. My hope is that the Sea Tour is still a very stable
: boat. Any thoughts from anyone who has paddled a Sea Tour (Dave
: Gentry)???
: scott
: Consequently, I'm going to re-build my Sea otter (which I dislike)
: into a Sea Tour for myself.
