If you are looking for a very stable IK because you don't like to go swimming when you boat, check out the Star beetle bug at www.starinflatables.com. Two pontoons connected by a thwart and an alumuminum bar. Very stable and very responsive. Come out to California to demo...I have 8 of them still in boxes. Most stable Ik ie Duckie I have been in. Demo in California....I think Star is sold out.Lightweight also at 34 lbs. jc
