Hi, It was known as a Tabur Yak when I had one of those, my first boat actually, for the size they are very stable, had some great times in that boat, great for Bass as long as you are careful, I have some room to talk though we used to have to take cover from HSS ferry waves in those days, 2 of us used to spin from it fine.
Cleaning down used to be easy in those days :wink:
