Answer 1

you should probably sell it.

when the RAD first came out it came in something like a 175 and a 190 (or something like that). people found that the 175 was too small and that the 190  had way too much volume. they'd heat up the bow and stern and squash them in to reduce the volume. if you feel brave you could try that.

Answer 2

I would recommend dry bags full or trying to sellyour boat nad geting one that fits your padding size. Filling your boat causes you to flip and need to roll more not to mention throwing off loops and other airel trcks

Answer 3

I'm also lightweight and small for my boat (a Pyranha s6x) and I'm just figuring that stuff out in our community pool. For me, I've tried filling it with water, and that helps, a little. Really you just have to get strong enough, and play around enough so that you figure out how to do it its all about center of mass and gravity, and being able to shift your weight, while using your paddle to maneuver into place.
