My wife just bought me one of these boats (Pelican 10e) for my anniversary present and so far I've had no problems. I've only fished by myself so far but I'm guessing it would be even more stable with 2 seeing how all the weight was in the rear of the boat I thought it might help level it out a little with someone up front. I'm a big guy 290 so I was a little worried at first but even when I stand it seems to be pretty sturdy. So far I just added a 55lb Minn Kota Endurance C2 with an Exide 31 battery one extendable paddle and a anchor. I mounted the motor on the rear for now and seems to control the boat pretty good but I might try adding a rudder and switching the motor to the front.
