[QUOTE="BigBand, post: 494855, member: 18767"] Two main things give a boat (side to side) stability in the water: Overall bottom width, and weight. Think about walking over to the side of a boat to look over the side. The heavier/wider boat will not list as much. Both issues have to do with the weight that you are trying to 'lift' on the opposite side from where you are standing. The farther the weight is from you, the better. [/QUOTE]
