I would agree that it doesn't handle well when it's not loaded enough or correctly. I've never seen this issue as a problem with the boat though. I bought a 16' raft to haul lots of crap long way. It's just not suited for short trips or a few paddlers.

It's like buying a Kenworth bigrig, using it to haul kids to soccer practice, and saying itdoesn't handle city traffic that well.

My advice is to bring an extra one or three cases of beer, dry firewood from home, and rerig with a more-forward setup.

I think Swimmer was right on in his advice.
