[QUOTE="Mizzie, post: 292274, member: 3140"] Interesting, surprisingly I've yet to complain about the stability of mine. Not as stable as my old flat bottom but I can stand up in the middle & cast without worrying about falling in Haha standing up towards the bow is a little more tipsy Haha. But I usually don't stand up unless I'm spotting fish or something, I reach over the side to pull anchor or pull in fish all the time I'm a good 210lbs and the side with my weight on it still stays a decent amount above the water. It sits higher in the water then my old 12' flat bottom did! Haha If I remember correctly you have a twin of my boat but with higher mounted seats? may be that your seat pedestals are to high? I thought about getting 7" pedestals but decide to mount my swivels directly to the benches to keep center of gravity lower. About the 6hp. an external tank 2-stroke 6 is certainly lighter than a four stroke 5hp so I'm not worried about it Haha. I just rebuilt the transom mount this season but will probably beef it up a little more come spring so I don't get any flex back there. There is center and corner braces along with the transom wood I believe it's more than sturdy enough 1hp shouldn't sink her Haha (knock on wood). Any new floor or storage mods? Ever decided if you're removing the center bench yet? -Mike [/QUOTE]
