[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 242658, member: 6694"] I grew up fishing from a 12/32 with my dad. It is not very stable when standing, one person at a time. If the other person moved suddenly, say a big sneeze, it was an exhilarating experience! A 12/36 should provide more stablity, and have more weight carrying capacity (wider is better when you are goint to be standing). The hull thickness will go a long way in determining the boat weight. I personally would not overload a boat if at all possible. A 46# trolling motor will move it along reasonably well. We used to use a 17 and then moved to a 36, which did well. You may want to look into an inflatable (Zodiac-type) as an alternative since you are set on car-topping it? I'm sure others will chime in soon with other alternatives and info as well. [/QUOTE]
