Yes you can stand in it. I do with no problem. But I am mindful to stand amidship with feet place on both sides of center line of keel. I can also stand athwart ship as long as my feet are on the center line. No problem there. I can double haul with no problem.
Anchored fore and aft it is very stable. You must do that. You must!
It weighs 150lbs with installed floors.
Has fuel resistant foam fore and aft.
Handle a 55lb thrust Min Kota very well. Rated for 6 hp gas.
Installed Eide boat wheels make it a snap to move around. Just like a wheel barrow.
Using those wheels can load on top of camper shell. Shell flush with roof of cab of truck.
Aerodynamic while driving Little noise.
Loads easy in the back of my pickup with the tail gate down. Need 43" of width between wheel wells.
Fit and finish are perfect. All welded. No sharp edges.
Get collapsible aluminum oars from NRS. Work perfectly.
All in all. Shop hard. Do your diligence. Think it through.
Happy to be high and dry and not down in a pontoon. Especially like showing up to fish and not doing a 45 minute set up or a 25 minutes break down. Also like not having to service valves or fix leaks, or worry about storage.
I am happy I did.
Klamath is a heck of fine boat!
