: Thanks, I am not set on this design, it just looked like the right
: recipe. I am looking for something for my girlfriend, 5'5, 110
: or so. I didn't want it to be too wide, she is good with my
: kayak, 16'l 20"w. I'll have a look at the tour as well.

I strongly recommend Tom's Roldarka or the Sea Rider. The Roldarka is more stable, the Sea Rider a bit roomier. Both are much more stable than the Sea Otter.
She might even do well in the Sea Pup, though I have no experience with one of those.
