[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 455033, member: 13702"] PVC outriggers would help stabilize when not in motion, but only if they're big enough. A 6" pvc pipe that's 5' long would displace ~1 cubic foot of water (62lbs), so it would add buoyancy equal to 62lbs less the weight of the assembly. Put two on a jon in such a way that they're held below the water line and it'll be more stable, but you'll look ridiculous and it will be a PITA when under power. Either you'll need to add some sort of lifting contraption (adding weight and defeating the effectiveness of the setup) or you'll have to drag those big tubes in the water and get sprayed for it. Not worth it, better off selling your rig and buying a bigger one IMHO. [/QUOTE]
