It just feels solid because of the design of a 'single' pontoon instead of two
I really think it is less prone to twisting when the water gets white! When I was playing with the boat and going down some pretty extreme water, I did cheat and pump the float(s) up quite a bit (rock hard).

The last mod we'll do next year is to maybe cut the front lean bar by about 4-6" .. My Liliane is barely 5ft4" so it'll be much more comfortable for her to cast over it. The only problem is that when we want to lean the bar back, it'll be a tight squeeze to pass it over her head, so we're still debating this one.
