I have test paddled and liked the Force 4, the 3 would be better for my overall size but my wide hips can't fit in it. It surely turns easier than my Outer Island. The Force series, designed for straight tracking, are great boats for longer day paddles or trips. I would probably not want a Force boat as my only boat, preferring a smaller boat for brief evening paddles, pool sessions, etc. The new Force 3 HV looks great.
Carol,
My Aquanaut LV is fairly close to a Force 3 but shorter. The Tempest 165 would be a nice smaller boat offering a bit less speed but more manueverability.
