Thanks for the warning, Chris.

I would hate to be part of an information chain that lead to a drowning. My bad for asssuming the craft would have some kind of inherent flotation at least some air bags in the bbow and stern. I know Old Town often uses a foam sandwich material with a fancy name. Those float.

As for tippy, though I cannot speak to this kayak, that is often a tradoff item in the performance category. Narrow and tippy = farther per stroke. Wide and stable = less distance per stroke.
