I have been really happy with this kayak. I've had it for about 3 months now and have been in calm and swift rivers and a small lake in Michigan. At first it was noticeable that I was making balance corrections to stay perfectly flat. But the boat is actually quite maneuverable and I actually feel very safe with a significant amount of leaning. Glides through the water pretty swiftly and it tracks okay, but not flawlessly. It has a very comfortable seat, the knee pads are really nice, and the bungee storage out front came in handy on a long trip. I was very excited about the storage in this boat. The stern bulkhead has a nice flip top cover and an internal bag to keep your items out of the bottom of the boat. But this doesn't keep all water out, so whatever you put in here better be in a drybag. The cupholder and 4" day hatch have both come apart on me and let my stuff fall to the bottom of the boat during a particularly difficult section when I took on a lot of water. I just don't put anything in those anymore that I care greatly about.
