Hi Yaker:

    OK Scupper Pro is one of my Fav., light and fast but a little tippy.

True, but tippy won't be an issue after paddling the craft and getting used to it - it's just like riding a bike :smt002

The Scupper Pro is one of my top 3 choices for all around kayak Fishing platforms...

Depending on your height and weight the scupper pro can be an excellent choice

Hey FF,

I guess dimensions would be better said :smt002. The Scupper has a small cockpit, narrow and deep. If your butt fits, go for it :smt005. IMO this is a kayak you should try before you buy. They are a bit tippy, and not much secondary recovery once you start to roll. However, they are sleek and fast :smt002. Once you get used to them they are fun to paddle. If your thinking of getting one let me know. I have a beauty your more than welcome to try.

Excellent boat, heeding all the advice above.  As for secondary stability, I'd say it's more like "none, rather than "not much"

Learned that lesson a few times on "Old Blue"

I've been diving and fishing off my pro for many years and its always been a great boat.  I weigh about 200.  Lately I've been thinking I'm going to look around for an even faster SOT, if there is one.
