How wide is the FLOOR of this boat? Is it stable enough to stand and fish, or walk from back to front?

The floor is about 32 inches wide at the widest point near the center of the boat. You will not want to stand while fishing in this boat.

The two seater is very stable. I jam my boots between the outside bladders and the inflated bottom and was able to stand up and pole the canoe upstream about a half mile. I had at least 30 pounds of camping gear and my 10 year old daughter in the back seat. (I was using the front seat). I'm about 5' 11" and had no problem. Never "poled" a canoe before so I think it's very stable.

I dont think it is too long but it is super heavy to carry and transport. I am very happy with the board. This year i have a plan to put a hanger on the back of our boat so we can take with on the lake. Good luck

Jim, my family and I have been boating for nearly 30 yrs. We have gone through more tubes that I want to count. This tube can handle any type of water condition. Actually the rougher the better, if they like jumping. It is very stable and almost to stable. You really have to go out of your way to flip it. I have taken my older boys around tight turns doing 35 mph and it won't flip. You and your family will enjoy it. Have fun,Don

Lakes are good. Very stable. It is wide enough for a child on the front, but that is where the only bungee cord is if you want to carry anything. I haven't tested the max weight it will hold and I'm a pretty light female. I would call Isle. They are very helpful on the phone.

I'm a 230 lb adult. I can stand on it in less than 4 feet of water. Of course it's really submerged, but off the bottom. Balancing on it gives your core muscles a good workout. And it's fun!

Its pretty narrow. When I sit in it my legs are brushing against the ballasts on the sides. So, basically you have about 18 inches of width. As far as stability is concerned, I thought it was pretty stable, but I wouldn't want to stand up in it.

It will hold deep sea rods in its pockets but you will want to go to hardware store and purchase a concrete tube. I believe it is the 12 or 14 inch diameter by about 48 inches tall to put inside and make it more stable. you may also want to spray the concrete tube with polyurethane to make it water resistant before using it inside the fishing tote..

the boat is amazing so far and does indeed look like a banana. Why does that bother you? It is very sturdy and tracks very well. I even have my dog in it and can actually walk on top of the kayak while on a lake and change seats without disturbing the kayak or falling into the water. The ends come up slightly as you don't want water to spill in when you speed up. I also ordered the longer 96" paddles as the airhead paddles are only 84" or so, much more pull with the longer paddles.

I believe it was 650. lbs. but the real issue is if you get sea sick... LOL... I loved the boat, but my ex got seasick on our grand adventure with our lunches out to sea.... There was plenty of room for two big people and places for fishing rods... This was a great little boat to get started and I was living on the water so I needed something I couldcarry by myself out to the dock, where I inflated and went down the river.

The boat has only been used by childern in a small lake and a pool. It has held up well, but if you have a risk of hitting sharp rocks or trees it may not be your best choice.

Your perfectly fine. You will never be able to make it flat. The inner bladders are made that way to keep the front and back above the water so as to limit water intake for rougher waves. The boat is banana shaped its not something you are doing wrong. Unless of course its a banana shape laying on its side...

I'm sure the boat would be fine, but the oars are another issue. They are cheaply made so I would be sure to get longer/better quality oars for the trip. Have fun!

As a boater I would say NO. I don't think it is stable enough for that use.

Iam not at home to measure but I feel must be 23 inches. GREAT awesome little boat. I can do everything by myself lauch, load, and fish. JUST me and the dog. I am female that takes it out by myself a lot, no problems whatever. Had since last July 2014.Have trailer from Cabela's multisport by Smith so easier to lauch and handles well even in some wind.

I would recommend a cart with a larger wheel base. Even with my kayak unloaded it can be a touch unstable on even normal terrain. A good cart but definitely would recommend a wider based cart for the sun fish
