My wife bought us one of these for my birthday in 2018. We finally got to try it out on Benbrook Lake. I put a 30lb Watersnake Motor on the back, bought a collapsible anchor, 5 foot oars and got some floating seat cushions. Even on a windy day, rough water, I didn't think we were going to tip. We only took on maybe half a gallon of water going straight into a wave from another boat intersecting us. I dropped my anchor when we stopped. We'd fish for a few minutes and go again. No issues in 2 foot waves from the wind and the big bass boats. It even made it onto the beach fine when my battery died and we didn't want to paddle the extra 200 yards back to the boat ramp. A lot more stable when I stood up vs a V Hull. Would I recommend? Definitely. It's great for anyone that just wants putt around, go exploring, fish, take their dog out, etc. Would I do anything different? I might want better seats later. Would I take it on Lake Ontario? No. It's for small lakes, tanks, swamps, etc. I don't see it doing so well going over Niagara Falls. Our next adventure is going to be exploring all of the little coves and so forth around the lake.
