Phil-
I think you will like the Zephyr- it's really stable -carves surfs- yadayadayada

Swimmer
I think you will be on the high end of the spectrum- but doable- i.e. I'm on the high end for the wheelboy but on class II-III I love it

if you want to try mine at the WW park in Charlotte or green river you're welcome to

Bill, what size/type bags do you use in your zephyr? I assume larger in bow versus stern. I was surprised and a little pissed to find that a "fully outfitted" boat purchased from NOC doesn't allways include airbags!

it's a little misleading

but none of the shops I'm aware of include the airbags- I have mohawk 3d60 mohawk 3d52 in mine- it fills it up pretty nicely- the zypher is a little rounder at the the tips bow/stern than the viper so there is a little area will it is not filled out completely but I like Mohawk bags and lighter ones are 30-40 more a piece.
