[QUOTE="Insanity, post: 378953, member: 14077"] I don't think it's bad at all. I can stand up in front of the seat just fine. Just don't try to walk around the side of it. That's when things get squirly as the boat tips/ sinks out from under you a bit. You Quickly learn the swivel the seat around and step out if your heading to the rear. I like standing up front better then the rear. Something about being rite up on the v makes it stable. Its got no where to go but up and down. Farther back and it tips/ sinks as you get near the side. I like this boat ten fold over the 12 ( I'm guessing it was a 36 ) flat john I used to have. I couldn't stand comfortable in it. Just to let you no how good my sea legs are. Just a side note but with out a motor I had to add wieght ( like 50 lbs of steel and lead plus two batteries) to the back of the boat to balance it out which helps the trolling motor keep the boat straight. And it also seems to help the stability a little. Mounting my motor soon. But I figure il still need some extra weight. [/QUOTE]
