Hope this is OK to post here, being slightly off-topic. I'm thinking about buying one of these used. I hope to get the wife to join me (and maybe friends who continue to languish in boatlessness, despite my repeated admonitions). But I'd also want to paddle it solo on occasion:

It's the solo part I'm wondering about. Given that it has that third cockpit, I imagine it *should* be decently balanced--right? It's 21 feet long and 22 inches wide, so on flat-ish water like the Potomac, I'm thinking it should be decently fast, compared with most standard sea kayaks--right?

I believe it has no chines at all--so would it be crazy tippy? They say the hull is "U-shaped." If it tips over and dumps the wife in the drink, I'll be living in this thing! For at least a few nights. Ha.

Thanks for any thoughts.
