Mine feels more stable than other boats that I have owned. The next size up, the PRO GUIDE™ V-165 WT has a 8'1" beam at just over $25,500.(04-22-2021, 03:13 PM)steelhawk Wrote: I will be taking the boat out today on Willard for some break in time, and a little fishing.Good looking boat, hope it works out well for you today. Do you by chance know how wide it is at the back, at the beam, mine is 92" and is 16'2" long. Not sure if you know this but the wider a boat is the more stable it is on the water. I looked for one for three years before I found one that wide but I did not buy new, so I'm just not sure how hard it would be to get one that wide, if you are buying a new boat.

Two wrestling a sturgeon over the side of the boat and the third doing photos and the gunnel is still 4-6 inches above the water.(04-22-2021, 03:13 PM)steelhawk Wrote: I will be taking the boat out today on Willard for some break in time, and a little fishing.Good looking boat, hope it works out well for you today.
