I thought the hull itself was only 18 inches high, plus the cap on top. At rest, does it rock side to side in small chop — or would you consider it generally stable? When someone walks on the deck, does the boat tilt noticeably? I'm currently in the market for one and only considering outboards, so your opinion is greatly appreciated.

It's a narrow hull, so yes, it does list a bit when people walk around. However, this is the best riding, best handling boat I've ever owned. All of my passengers comment on how smooth the ride is and it can carve a turn so well.
