[QUOTE="russ010, post: 93407, member: 677"] We've got all sized of Jon Boats in our bass club... I have a 1546 (upgrade from a 1236) and it is VERY stable (70" across the beam).. The 1236 I had was also stable, but I only decked the front up to the top of the front middle bench. I could stand and fish all day and have no problems. We have a guy with a 1436 Alumacraft in our club with his decked up to the front bench as well - and he's not a small guy. Not as tall as you are, maybe 6', but he weighs more than you do. He and his partner fish in it and they have no problems with it being stable because both of them stand while fishing. If you can save up, go for atleast a 42" floor... but if you get the 36", just deck it up to the top of the middle bench and you'll be fine [/QUOTE]
