I own and fish from the FnD from time to time.  What do you want to know?

How stable are they in the swells . I weight 185 -190 and the hobie I have I feel shaky on . Could just be me . A friend has one and says he loves it , so I wanted others input .Thanks

FnD is one of the most stable SOT kayaks on the market and it can handle your weight with ease. If you thinking about getting one, I would recommend test paddle one to see if it's right for you.  Below is the link to what other people think out this yak:
