[QUOTE="fowlmood77, post: 26866, member: 269"] I have walked all over my boat along the edges with no problems. I fish with my yellow lab and miniature pincher that stay up front with me 90 % of the time no problems except for it being a little crowded sometimes. I have been doing alot of "dock shooting" for crappie where I sit cross legged up front on the edge and lean over to get near the water to shoot jigs under docks. So I feel pretty safe with mine. Stability really comes from the width of your boat. As far as adding weight, keeping everything centered is best. If you add up front it will make it harder on the motor to plane the boat out. As far as floatation, the majority of the floatation is from the displacement of the boat on the water. Floatation in the boat is really just there in case it gets swampped. Just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
