Judging from the dimensions, it probably paddles like a bathtub. Definitely not a long distance boat.

Here's the info from the Ocean Kayak site.

I haven't tested this one myself yet, but it looks like it might make a nice river fishing boat.  I'll let you know if I ever demo one.

I have one of these in my fleet( its the GF's ride). I take it from time to time and end up playing in the stationary wave on the river. If your going to use it for a drift boat make note that there's not much room to store anything. The back tank well is only about four inches deep and the only hatch you can install is a 6". The boat is definitely stable see the pic below but the one thing I have noticed is the front end gets a little squirrely when your paddling.
