[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 494058, member: 22613"] I had a 14' Alumacraft that was pretty similar in dimensions to your Mirrocraft. Soft chines, flat bottom in the rear. Not sure what the beam was but the floor was 48" wide in the back. I thought that boat was very stable. I had a deck over the front 3 benches and found it to be plenty stable to walk on, I could stand on the gunnel if I wanted. That boats weakness was the short transom, not much freeboard so it was pretty easily swamped if you took a wake from behind. The first time on the big water can be intimidating. Once you get some confidence and seat time I'm sure you'll find it to be pretty capable, if not, at least you'll know. [/QUOTE]
