[QUOTE="bonz_d, post: 399880, member: 11276"] I suppose it also depends on what your definition of tippy is. I have owned and fished out of a number of different 14' boats, the current one is a 14.5' Sea Nymph and the previous one was a Lund S14 DLX. When fishing with 2 people in the boat I normally take the stern and like you I like to stand. Much of the time up on the rear seat. Anytime one stands in these smaller boats they will become more unstable and you will feel the rocking motion. I have been rocked off my standing position but I have never felt that the boat was in danger of tipping over or taking on water. Though I guess I have looked pretty silly at times after losing my balance. You can do as johnny suggests and stay low and seated up front or learn when the water is flat enough to allow you to comfortably stand. It's all about learning the limitations of each boat and feeling comfortable. Good luck and tight lines! [/QUOTE]
