[QUOTE="Hooky1420, post: 168828, member: 3367"] I got used to jons when I was growing up. We had a Sears (I think) 1232. We didn't ever have a deck on it, but my brother and I would stand up on the bench seats to fish at the same time. That got pretty hairy at times, but neither one of us ever got dumped. I guess it may be relative to what you are used to. With my 1436, it is much sturdier than that old 1232 I was used to previously, so for me, the stability is a big improvement. I always use caution when i'm walking around, but I've had the boat out by myself and I know where I'm standing and how to adjust. Like I said before, its not like you are walking on something extremely solid, but it is very managable. Since putting on the front deck (which actually made the boat sturdier in my opinion) I haven't once felt like I was going to be thrown in, although there is some give if you are walking on or near the gunwales. On Sunday, I had my brother-in-law up on the front deck and I was standing on the rear bench seat and we were fine. Keep in mind, I only have adults on my boat, no pets, no small children. I would probably suggest something a little more sturdy should you have either of the two on your boat as they could lose their balance much easier than an adult. And ALWAYS wear a PFD, no matter how sturdy you think the boat is. [/QUOTE]
