This boat will not tip over if if you stand on any edge of the boat. This is my primary reason for buying it. I previously had a canoe that never tipped over, but came close a couple times, especially when using a trolling motor. Now I do not even think about tipping.
This boat is not for paddling. You at least need a Trolling motor or small gas engine. It moves along nicely with a 62 pound thrust Trolling motor. You won't get anywhere fast, but it is built for stability, not speed.
I don't fish, but I can see why fisherman seem to like this boat. You can cast or pull in a fish with no concern for tipping as you would in a canoe or kayak. 2 people can extremely lean to one side of the boat. Try that in a canoe if you want to go swimming.
One complaint: there is a black plastic trim that covers the bonding that holds the top half of the boat to the bottom half of the boat. They did a bad job installing it. It was overly stretched on one side of the boat and bunched on the other side. Its mostly for looks. It covers the staples that bond top to bottom.. The top looks ok. If you look underneath the plastic is not covering the staples in some spots because of this poor installation.. I considered this a minor flaw and I did not want to return it.
One other point: I bought this in Nov 2021 for about $950 as of June 2022 it is $1,999. I know we are having inflation, but over double the price. I would not buy it now, I am glad I bought when I did.
