[QUOTE="Zubes, post: 235579, member: 3204"] [b]coloradobassin[/b] - The boat is still stable with the front casting deck mounted to the top of the bench seats. It might be a little tippier, but the large deck allows you to have a wider stance and I think the difference is negligible. I haven't fished from the boat using the pedestal seat yet, but I can't imagine it would make things any worse. [b]Jay415[/b] - Thanks!
