Found one new(thanks for the suggestion Mike B.),plan to demo Saturday,will most likely bring it home with me.

I got to try out my new new Wenonah Argosy today.I thought at first it was very unstable but after rocking back and forth trying to keep from flipping for a few moments I decided to try kneeling like I do in my Outrage.I thought by looking at the boat it would be a lot more stable.When I started to paddle and the boat would'nt move I realized I was trying to balance the boat on a rock under the stern.
After I took care of that little issue no more problems.I started with the seat in the low position but after moving it up it seemed I had a more powerful stroke.I'm going to try tightening the self locking screws on the seat to lock it in this position.
I did'nt understand the foot brace,I thought they were supposed to be behind me but after trying it I like it.
I tried to flip the boat while sitting on the seat but I think I would fall out before it flipped.
The boat is light enough for me to easily load on my old van,tracks well for a boat it's size and is stable enough to feel comfertable(for me).It manuvers better than I expected.
The only outfitting I plan to add is a kneeling pad for when I get in moving water or want to make time and possibly small end bags.
Thanks to everyone who responded to this topic,I wish I could have bought one of everything but I think this boat is just what I was looking for.
Thank you,Don

If you plan to kneel some and sit some, just make sure you choose a seat position that is high enough that your heels won't get caught under the seat. That's the one potential danger of kneeling with a seat (vs using a saddle).

Really glad you like the boat!
