Anyone have an Ascend sit on top?

I started kayak fishing on a 128T. It was stable enough to stand up while fishing.

      3 Waters/FeelFree’s cathedral hull. Kind of a crappy picture.    Literally designed for one purpose and one purpose only- stability. I’m usually the slowest boat out on the water. But I don’

      That's what I like about the Hobie Compass Mirage Drive, It's only 75 lbs. and is very quick.  I've gotten over 6 mph, but that was with a TON of effort.  Usual speed is 4 mph.

    picture of mine, when i first bought it. They seem pretty stable to me.

    mine is a 2016 model. They made several changes from the 2015 to the 2016 model, such as:

    The 2016 Bass Pro Ascend FS12T has changed significantly from 2015. During the 2016 production year, there was a shift from placing a rod holder on the starboard gunwale to placing tracks on both the Port and starboard. This is a very positive change that provides considerable flexibility in what and where owners may place accessories. In addition to this change, the center weathertight hatch has been raised slightly to make it more weathertight.

     

    I also raised the seat a little by using square aluminum tubing.
