I have a an older Quest, and have been happy with it. In Texas the wet seat/ wet feat thing was not a big deal, in fact I never really bothered me. Then my fiancee and I went paddling one day after I moved out here and my feet were numb (not used to this cold bay water). I fixed that problem quickly, and bought a pair of divers/surfer neoprene socks. I find the boat to be really stable and well made. I got caught on a strainer on the Brazos river (in Texas) after some heavy rain fall and I was tossed but the boat was hung up and was taking a lot of heavy pounding from the river, and it didn't buckle or flex. Not as fast as some other SOT's but I have been happy with it. I like the fact that even though my quest was an early model all the newer Hobbie parts fit it.
