Anybody can screw up and turn a boat over, but my undersatnding is that a single engine version of any of these is pretty hard to blow over in the traditional tunnel sense.
Also, all tunnels have a speed zone where they porpoise. True tunnels worse than pod tunnels. Depending on prop, mine will porpoise between 60 and 65, or 65 and 74 with the big prop--you just need to avoid that typically narow speed range.
They are easy to drive--our v-hull friends accuse us of having training wheels.
