Contrary to what you read width means nothing, it is the hull shape under the water that determines stability. OK, it does mean a little, it's hard to make a 19" boat super stable but a 24" wide boat can be made that it as unstable as anything out there. So don't get hung up on width equal stability, It just isn't always the case. Especially in non-commercial models.
