Hello,
On the contrary, I always stand in my PortaBote.
You do not straddle the vee hull like a rigid boat. Rather, you stand on one side of the vee keel. The flexible hull acts like a suction cup on the water and forms a stable, flat platform to cast from.
I do it all the time, and by extending the handle on my trolling motor, I can cast and operate the boat at a slow speed at the same time.
It's a great Bote !
Buy with confidence!
Cheers,
Richard
