: I had a Cobra Navigator last year, but dumped it a couple of times in calm water, made me a bit nervous. I switched to an FnD and loved the stability, but it was a little too bulky for an old man to wresle with on tired days. I have a Pro Explorer comming because of good reviews including great stability. Any owners know why the PE is more stable than the Navigator when their demensions seem to be the same???

Cliff,
I did a review on the kayak a few months prior to working with Malibu Kayaks at a sponsorship level. You may have already seen it in the Product Reviews section. There aren't many there due to lack of time but there is one on the Pro Explorer.
I haven't paddled any of the Cobra boats so I really can't compare. I've paddled along a few Fish N Dives though (buddies I've fished with). The Pro is a smaller boat and is still extremely stable. I'd imagine the Fish N'Dive is more stable(bigger boat). I've been pleased with the stability of the Pro. For other people, the Fish N Dive is the only boat for them. Since you'll have the experience of both boats, maybe you can give us a litte side by side comparison. They're not in the same class/category but I'm curious which one will work better for you.
