I see all of yall puting these casting decks on these small boats and wonder about the stability the boats have. I watched the you tube video by pwb and dont know about all the rocking back and forth when he was walking around on the deck. The bass boats I have had in the past were alot more stabil than this and wonder if the high decks on these boats is such a good idea. A lot of you have done this with your boats. What are your real feelings about the decks now that you have fished out of them for a while? The reason I'm concerned is my daughter may go fishing with me some and I worry about tossing her or me into the drink and maybe hitting our head on the way down. I am thinking more of a Basstracker crappie set up with the seats down low with an open floor plan would be more safe for these style of boats. By the way the boat I have is a MV1448 Sea Arc with two benches and a little deck up front.
I also have some ideas about making them more stabil and would like some opinions on my ideas. I was thinking more weight in the center line of the boat and more up front ie. two batteries lined up towards the front of the craft and gas tank centered in the rear as well as adding extra foatation down the sides of the craft. Would this help keep the boat from rocking back and forth so much? I may be totally wrong here don't know just thinking out loud. What do you guys think.
Thanks Dave
