than the old?

Unfortunately I don't feel it to be hardly any faster, certainly a lot less stable and no were as good going through the surf than my old X Factor. During the process of trying to bring the Yellow on board I almost rolled the kayak several times due to the weight transfer and the fish kicking a little. I felt like some Nub as the fish went back in the water on either side due to the kayak rocking side to side. I hope to sell and replace this Cuda during or after summer and possibly get a Kraken or a newer X Factor depending of how they feel when I take one out for a test. It's the poor secondary stability and the bows inability to punch through or go over the waves that I don't like. Other that that it is a great kayak, maybe someone that weighs less than me (220lbs) would not have those problems. Thanks Yanni, Mark.
