Seems harder to push through the water

I bought this for my wife's birthday with the idea that if I also liked it, I would buy another for me. I found it stable in the water. It tracks well and you can get it to go fast, but it seems like you are always pushing a little harder to keep it going. My wife noticed her arms were more tired than when she used the rental units.at our local lake. I found the same. Maybe the stability and good tracking comes with this price?
My wife found the seat comfortable but I did not. I thought it was inclined too far back. Might just need to fiddle with adjustments some more. The foot pegs work well and are easy to adjust.
Most of my experience has been in fiberglass Old Towne rental units which I find easier to keep going in the water.
