I've never flipped outside of the surf. But, my first kayak was a Navigator. I almost rolled that yak so many times I sold it after 6 months. One of Cobra's worst designs. I paddled a Tarpon 140 for a few years, I liked it a lot. I didn't find it too tippy at the time. I'm so used to my current battleship (Ride 135) though, that most kayaks would feel tippy to me now.
