More like "it depends", please... The GII is a great boat, as others have
said. One thing I can say, it will keep you dry and right-side up. We've had
occasion to be hit by some pretty daunting boat wakes (including one
double-decker tour boat who apparently wanted to teach me some sort of
lesson) and it rode them with not the slightest worry of capsizing.

I had a similar experience. My wife & I were in our Greenland II and a
high speed ferry to Catalina Island got way too close to us. I thought we
were dead or at least we were in for a swim. I got the boat turned toward
the wake and it broke completely over my wife and half way up my body in
the rear position. The GII came through with absolutely no trauma (not
like my heartbeat) Just cut through the wave like a fishing trip on a calm
bay. The somewhat weak appearing spraydeck held up just fine. It occured
to me that some people actually search out waves like that for adventure,
(except for the close ferry part). That being said, the GII is a better
double than single. I have the solo setup and you will still want the
rudder if there is a lot of wind out. But if you have some bags of weight
(even water bags) you can trim the boat for good operation and keep it
from blowing around. The upside of the GII is you can carry two or quite a
bit of stuff if you are camping, fishing or snorkeling. I also have an
Aleut and prefer it as a single. My wife tried and liked the Feathercraf
K1 and I like the Klepper Alulite but they are very different boats. The
Folbots are particularly comfortable to me and I like the open style
copckit for comfort and convenience. I also have a wood/fiberglass Pygmy
Osprey kayak but that is a different story....
