question is a LL Huck a pig in the water or am I just not used to a creekboat? New

I have a LL Scooter and a Huck.  I've paddled the scooter a bunch but not so much in the Huck. When I'm in the huck, it feels like a cross between a dump truck and a tank, and steers just as well.  I like it because it is very reassuring, but it takes all day to turn the thing.  Is it just me getting used to a creeker vs a playboat or is the Huck unusually slow?

thanks

note You need more time to get used to a creekboat.  For one, you can't slice the stern/pivot turn like a playboat. tcookson New
