[QUOTE="BohsandHoes, post: 280185, member: 8082"] Thanks guys for the kind words! Manson, what is the width of the beam of your boat? That's what really is important. Mine is a 1232 so it is certainly tiny and definitely tippy. With me, the 8hp mariner plus gas tank plus my 270 lbs brother in law and all our fishing and crabbing gear which includes a 1200ft baited trotline and cinder block anchors we definitely roll down the river riding maybe 4 inches above the water line in the back when she's fully underway. Luckily we both are experienced on the water and in tight situations and as long as your sea legs are good we can stand up and fish out of it one person on front deck and another on the back seat. When it's 170lb me and my equally heavy younger brother out there fishing it feels a lot safer. With our gear plus the mod we run pretty high out of the water. The thing for me is that with such a small boat the being able to organize everything into compartments is key for making it a comfortable time on the water [/QUOTE]
