: Thanks for the skirt advice though. I'm going to send in the

Takes awhile to get used to boats skinnier than you're used to. All of Tom's boats that I've tried are a little wiggly on initial stability and have very solid secondary (assuming it's built per plans), you need to sit as close to the bottom as possible, so if you have a thick seat that might be the problem.
