[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 317487, member: 5461"] I've had a ton of boats and can say with confidence that a 48" bottom is MUCH more stable than a 36" bottom. A heavy duty 1436 with high sides is OK for a few guys to fish from ... even standing .... but a 1448 is night and day better. The typical little 1436 and 1236 jon boats with short sides and low transoms are only a little better than a canoe. Two normal size guys can tip one pretty easily if they aren't paying attention.
