: Mine is 28" wide and in all be the shallowest water I am just
: not comfortable straddling it which is how I get in my boats. So
: I have to come in from one side and just haven't found a good
: way to do that. Getting in is easier than getting out for me.
: With the rod holders I can't sit on the back deck and then swing
: a leg out.

: There is a lot of personal choices in a fishing boat. I love the
: milk crate hatch in the back and the rod holders.
: I wanted taller sides so I could lean over and not worry about
: water coming into the boat landing a fish or pulling up an
: anchor. But you have to balance so that your not hitting you
: elbows either.
: In my kayak I find I have hold my rod a couple of inches higher
: than normal to clear the coaming. With the large opening it's
: not a problem and I love that. My shoulder would start to hurt
: after a while.
: I raised the seat height since I had the stability. I like sitting
: up a little higher when fishing.

: Thats just a few things I prefer.

Extended paddle on one side as an outrigger, it's how most kayakers enter their boats.
