Kids boats and Secondary Stability

My boys are 10-11 years old, and have SIK experience; they can paddle solo.  For a SOT, I've considered 8-11' boats for them.  They will fish, and I want them to grow into their boats, so I think I'll enhance their muscle development with something like a 10'x33" boat.  Weights are 95-110.  Any suggestions from those of you with kids on models, lengths, or other that I've not thought of yet?  What about paddle lengths?

I wouldn't worry too much about super stability, remember that with smaller bodies comes a lower center of gravity.  I'd actually have them test paddle something like an OK Prowler.  Light, fast, agile, and certainly a boat they can grow into.

I've got 2 kids, and 11-year old son (5'2", 120 lbs), and a 10-year old daughter(4'8", 70 lbs). For the last couple years, they've been paddling the Ocean Kayak Caper Angler & Venus 11, respectively. They've both with really happy with the boats, along with all their cousins and friends. At the end of the summer, I moved my son into a Trident 11 angler, which he also liked a lot. He's tried out my Prowler 13 a couple times, but liked the added maneuverability of the shorter boats. Stability (primary & secondary) shouldn't be an issue in most sot's at their size, so I wouldn't worry about width too much.

As for paddle lengths, 190-210cm is pretty common for kids. For sit-on-tops, I'd lean more towards the 200-210 range, it gives them a bit more reach over the edge, and they tend to not hit their hands as often.

I've read the Cobra Escape has high sides (tough to climb in for kids), and that the "tri-hull design" with a rounded center hull needs at least 100 lbs to stablize it, or it tips like a bike with training wheels. 
On a minor note, I don't think the Escape has seat scuppers, making it wet in the seat well.  Could this be right?
