[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 501015, member: 31103"] There will be some increase in stability, simply because you're adding weight low in the boat. However, I don't think it will be a significant increase. What it DOES do, in my opinion, is create a better surface for standing on and increases comfort over the course of the fishing day. That comfort is valuable, especially for my older feet and legs. You're not constantly shifting your weight to take pressure off certain points on your foot or ease discomfort in knees, legs, and back. That, to me, is just as important as stabilizing the hull. In a way, better ergonomics is also an increase in boat stability. [/QUOTE]
