: I don't see how more internal flotation would make the kayak more stable

Hi Jim, are you asking me or John? John would have to relay his account but I remember the thread from way back when http://www.kayakforum.com/cgi-bin/Building/Archive40.pl/read/47766 As I recall, the side flotation only added stability when the boat was fully flooded - the water inside the cockpit tended to hold the opposite side of the boat down while you climbed back into the near side (instead of it wanting to roll over like a coke bottle). I haven't tried a re-entry with side flotation.
