Going to demo one of these next week… Tell me about yours please… I am currently paddling an Impex Assateague.
I do.
The 180 will be a similar feel to the A but bigger, a touch more stable (wider) and a whole different seat configuration. The tracking patterns will be similar.
good luck

I own one and love it. - GREAT BOAT
I have a Romany HV and a Tempest 180 and I paddle the Tempest 99% of the time.
The Tempest is rock solid and very stable while not trading off the sporty handling you’d expect from a performance boat.
The Tempest has a very comfortable seat, great deck rigging, has been very water-tight, and had no quality problems at all. I did order mine (and my wife’s T-165) without a bulkhead. We (flatpick did the work) installed the custom bulkhead and footpump upon delivery.
GREAT BOAT!!!
If you’re interested, I did a boat review of the boat a couple years ago. You can find that story at Wes Boyd’s Kayak Place at:

The story still holds true, the boat is as much fun today as it was then.
Good luck!
