I didn't realize you had the now discontinued Q-16 Solo. I think you might be on to something with your idea about moving the solo center seat, aft a little bit.

I'm no canoe expert that's for sure but I've read some on the merits of having a center seat solo and one setting back some.
I understood from the Souris River web site that your solo Q-16's seat was set a little back from true center?

Depending on how you load your packs/weight distribution counting your weight, it still might need to go back further?

I like to set-up slightly bow heavy, and setting the tandem up as pictured seem to my experience a step in the right direction.

Since you already have the canoe, it would seem to make sense you see if moving your seat backward would make it better for you.

I think at least to my admittedly limited experience, this guy makes a lot of sense.
