[QUOTE="bronxborn, post: 503061, member: 32756"] So you want to keep this highly dangerous setup, got no money to modify it, and asking how to balance it. Well you answered your own question a while ago when you said having an adult up front helped out some. OK. Get some sandbags and throw them up front and to the port side to simulate another humans weight - knock on wood and say a prayer before you head out. If I was that desperate to run that setup in a "safer" manner, I would build some outriggers that can clamp on like these - [URL="https://www.springcreek.com/product/paddle-sports/stabilizer-float-packages/hd-jon-boat-stabilizer-float-package/"]HD Jon Boat Stabilizer Float Package - Spring Creek[/URL] This is only putting a patch on a hole that still leaks no matter how thick the patch is.
