Does anyone know how well the Teal performs in the hands of a fairly lightly built ten-year old? My son needs a more challenging boat, and for a change, I'm...

DAvid, those dimensions are for the hull. I'd say that the aft 4' would be given to power and the fore 6' to an open bow; one doesn't live "inside" forever...
