Is the prowler 15 wider than the prowler 13 and is it harder to paddle?

the 15's an inch wider than the 13 at 29 inches, when i tried stitch's 15 i found it tracked in a straight line nicely but i found the 15 heavier to paddle, have a test drive on sunday and see what you think  |

hi chirish i am no pro the only deference is the 15' is 1/2"wider than the 13' the 15' is essayer to keep in a straight line so less effort is used but the 13' is more manuevrable

The 15 is very good if you are doing long distances we have both and I will allways pick the 15 over the 13 Any time, but the 13 is much easer to turn.
Martinw finds it very easy to turn over as you can see from his avatar ;D

Aaah, but what about the weight and draught? Is one harder to paddle than the other (effort wise not tracking wise).
Tribble and stitch certainly make them look easy to paddle but then they'd make a log look easy to paddle.
